NAM/EURO/GGEM/RGEM are reasonably in line with each other other than some QPF differences.  GFS tickled DC at 6z.  We'll see what it does.  1" would be nice.  But I like little snows.

I think 06z NAM was best (as in most snow) case scenario for us... but as others have said... 1" is fine by me

Euro moved like 100 miles west with the precip shield...I think we'll still see some fluctuations in shield and wetness as the day progresses..could shift good or bad...you and I are in a decent spot for 1" if you like 1" events...I do..should stick immediately

Def agree... any accumulating snow is good snow... hope the GFS twins can come on board more

If we squeak out an inch, IAD will be above normal on the year.  Need over 2" to say the same for DCA/BWI.

 

 

No, seasonal.  IAD normally has 6.2" to date.  They have 5.8". 

 

Everyone forgets how utterly pathetic our climo is through December.

BWI averages .4" in NOV, 3" in DEC and 6.8" in JAN

so, it has 2.8" so far this winter

if you half JAN's average since tomorrow is the 14th of the month, climo would be 6.8" thru mid JAN

bottom line, we need 4" to get to climo the way I figured it

It's contained in the CLI's. For Baltimore as of this morning:

 

Total: 2.8   Normal value: 5.4     Departure: -2.6
