Some good news, especially for the I-95 crew and the immediate low landers. Frederiskcburg and Louisa, VA were -RA at the start but once the heavier precip moved in they've not flipped to -SN. Even Quantico, which is right on the river, has -SN now so there might be a bit more 'boom' with the snow thanks to the earlier onset.

the 3k NAM at 6z was a disaster. Had us high and dry in the DMV till like 1:00pm

After 10-15 minutes of sleet (with light accumulation), it appears I turned back to light snow, so this is good

good luck with the you know.....the other S stuff

He’s north of 70. He’ll make up for some of the damage with that band later on

You can see the CC line get shunted off to the east.  Looks ok for another 1-2 hours in the DC area (better NW of course).

Imagine we had some semblance of blocking in place to keep that high anchored in

We do have some semblance of blocking.  A track up the Bay would be rain to Binghamton if there wasn't that high pressure/confluence/blocking.  It's not 100% perfect, but the best we've had in ~22 months.
