It’s a razor thin line guys. The thermals are iffy. There’s just no cold on this side of the globe. 
 

Sorry, couldn’t resist

Your really want to tempt fate with 120 hours left to go???

Biggest concern I have with the GFS is that the primary low from Monday hangs around in PA which prevents any cold from draining into our area. There's really no CAD ahead of the system. So we rely on dynamic cooling as the low bombs out. Canadian looks like it is weaker and faster with the early week system and has more of a classic CAD setup. Big differences apparent at 96 hrs.

But isn't this a double edge sword...its partially the lack of cold press in front that allows the primary to amplify north and ends up with that bomb over southeast VA.  The GGEM is colder but also a much less intense and "fun" storm...especially for us north of the DC area.  I guess this is location specific...if I lived south of DC I probably don't want to chance "playing with that fire" and would take the less intense but more sure thing snow.

Pretty textbook HP there though. If that is accurate I won't worry about temps at all. 

Again..120 hours to go...we want to tempt the snow gods on this?

It’s funny too because the Ukie has been super amped all winter. Few weeks ago at this range it kept showing a hit on an event that was out to sea. Of course this event it’s out to sea. Made it to midnight night as well wait for the euro. ;)

It's hit or miss...sometimes its crazy amped.  It had a few runs where it gave DC a blizzard before that costal scraper storm in 2018.  And other times its way suppressed compared to other guidance...last winter it kept giving me 15" of snow from a storm that ended up way north long after all other guidance shifted.

Yeah which is why I said I hate that model haha, it likes to torture us...I’ll take it more serious under 72 hours.

It's probably good at 500 where they score the model but it seems to suck in forecasting actual weather
