Some thoughts:

- I would not rely on the 12km NAM precip shield depiction. Something I first noticed tracking that early Jan 2018 coastal is that it is pretty terrible and inconsistent at rendering these things, with a lot of features that aren't supported by synoptics/surface features. I think they're fun to look at but I don't take them very seriously. I trust the 3km depiction more.

- Flipside: I think somebody is going to get dry-slotted and shafted. Don't know who, but it's just the nature of these transfers of lows from inland to the coast. 

- 3km NAM is showing the "splotchy" nature of the precip shield really well- that's how it will turn out! It will be feast or famine! One lucky locale may even see a little thundersnow, not out of the question! Don't know who.

I agree with your mention of dry slot and any transfer.  It will be interesting to see how the upcoming 00Z operational Euro depicts event
