The Euro has a better HP over the top. And if I have to have only one model in my corner for a storm I am taking the Euro every single time. 

Lows are going to be in the mid 20s for many Tues night in to Wednesday.. that cold isnt going anywhere when the precips starts.. that HP is causing lows in the single digits and teens for folks just to our north.. thats some serious cold air. With a develop lp system to our south.. the prevailing flow means that cold air is going to be pulled down in to our region.  Its only at the height of the storm that we need to worry about the column.. and even then it might be cold enough at the lower levels to support a sleet fest.  

Think about this.. it almost snowed here today and it was like 65 degrees yesterday.  We get a similar track on Wed and we have an abundance of Cold Air. Thats why I think the Euro is dead on with its tucked in low pressure and relatively south R/S line.

I won't as I remember it's only mid-December and I-95 and East is not climatology favored to get big snow at this time. If you're at those expectations, you can't be disappointed. If you having high expectations of a big hit of snow, then....

I have gigantic expectations.  12 out of 16 runs of the models have given me a HECs.

Top 5 for that date in Dec maybe?  That is plausible.

It's probably possible it could crack top 10 December snowfalls all time at BWI and maybe top five at Dulles if things really broke right. Given the axis of snowfall though, this is going to be a storm where BWI probably reports a total that is not very reflective of what most of the Baltimore region receives, and that's before you get into the fact that they seem to always measure low even when compared to spotter reports down the street. I used to be pretty close to BWI and the discrepancies were ridiculous, especially for the biggest storms.
