It's a big hit for south and central VA. 

.5" in N MD

3-4" in DCA

7-8" in CHO

12" in RIC

Excellent run.  If 3-4 inches of non-mixing snow falls in the first half of December it’s a huge win. And with this kinda set up we know that being on the northern edge at this lead isn’t necessarily bad.

Exactly, I loved it.  I’d easily take 4” of snow in early December especially considering the last two winters we’ve had.

Some fairly significant changes at 500 mbs by day 8.

eta: compared to 00z run.

Not unlike what the 12z GFS did up north with the PV lobe(s) compared to prior runs. Heights have a more stretched out and flat look and no defined vortex digging further south into eastern Canada. Despite that, the outcome with the storm between the 2 models is dramatically different.

the last few months remind me of 09/10.  storm after storm starting in early fall...colder and colder each time until we got within striking distance of a cold enough high.  gonna be a wild winter if this pattern holds, and the fact that we've already gotten snow in november says a lot about the type of pattern we're in.

This to me appears like a re-retreating high.

Just needs to be cold enough right.  But there isn’t much wiggle room I agree.  All snow is a tall order anytime of the winter so if we can score a front dump then I guess we need to thrilled.
