Para GFS. Predominantly snow for the vast majority of the sub, the second wave is legit. 

If this verified I would surrender to this storm. Would make me look like a fool. And I'd be ecstatic. .

id like to be in 1.7 for once and not .9

Jokes aside, I know I'm getting sleeted on and prob enough to be annoying if I had to guess but sleet is still fun in it's own way. Seeing all these impulses riding is intriguing. My guess is an east trend. Crazy storm though. Full of surprises. 

did you hear about the lady on the board who wants sleet more than snow?

Again, this is the attitude to have.  It's going to sleet on us..me more than you...but it's going to happen.  If people set their expectations to where they are, this will be a fun storm.  If you are going into this wanted or thinking you are getting 100% snow, then that's on you.  I look forward to our sleet overlords.

At least this time there will be snow sticking to everything first no problem. Sleet (possibly heavy) will make it a pretty high impact. I expect dc roads all the way to the river to be jacked up most of thurs. Maybe most of fri too if a hail mary streams in

i can handle sleet if i see a bunch of flakes mixed in. Its the pure sleet that aggravates the crap out of me.

Seems pretty likely we get a decent shot of snow first. I'm hoping for 3-4" before mixing. Heavy sleet on top of that is great. And by then we'll be tracking the friday wave and not care whats going on outside

lol...if the Canadien wave is for real for Monday...that would be a better than anything we had in 19-20

There is a definite trend towards a weaker initial wave Thursday morning but a stronger second (maybe even 3rd wave) after it.  I know that complicates things but there is one factor that makes me confident we can avoid a total disaster.  There is a synergy between the waves that makes a total fail unlikely.  As wave 1 trends weaker...wave 2 trends better because the mid level boundary doesn't get blasted way to the north and the next wave activates it again.  So...if the mid level warm push is stronger like on the NAM we get wave 1 and if its weaker like on the GFS and GGEM then we get some of wave 1 and wave 2...maybe a wave 3.  But it seems unlikely the way they are set up that all the waves miss.  But this multiple wave scenario adds a level of complexity to this.
