So much contradicting commentary on the PBP lol

Lol! I’d say the NAM pretty much held serve. Roughly .2 of qpf at 12z with maybe .16 at 18z. The 3k is a lot wetter though... it had no precip within 50 miles of dc in the 12z run. Goalposts prob narrowing but each model now shows between .15 and .4 of sleet/freezing rain falling with temps between 26 and 29.

NAM and NAM nest do have a bit more precip arriving during Saturday, but it's mostly sleet until later the day.   At that point, it turns to freezing rain, and there is nice slug of it in the nest over southern MD, but the precip field everywhere becomes pretty sparse by 00z.     (Worth noting that the 12z NAMs were highlighting the period later Saturday night for the best ice threat.   We will see if 18z continues to have heavier precip during that period)

Looks like a non-storm for our area. Same pattern we have seen for most of the winter and especially the past few weeks. I think it is time we join @BristowWx  with our favorite beverage and FORGITABOUTIT!!

I think this will actually be the most impactful event in dc so far this winter. Not saying much...
