What are the guesses on the new solution the 18z GFS shows?  Im going to make a safe bet:  It won't be the superstorm blizzard like 12z.  

Washed-out northern stream wave that gets kicked out by a trailing wave and southern stream energy left in the Southwest.

Wait hang on what's the Jefferson storm? Gotta look that one up!

It’s supposedly the largest documented storm to hit DC and Virginia. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson claimed in their diaries that snow reached a depth of 3 feet region wide. Hard to verify this though.

Daaang...and that would be exactly 250 years next week, lol (looks like it was sometime between January 26th and January 29th that year). So two historical dates: 100 years since Knickerbocker, 250 years since Washington/Jefferson!

No "official" records - but Washington, Jefferson and apparently some other people or orgs in the area wrote about it in detail. Have to hope that they weren't slant sticking. I've always thought that storm (if authentic) is probably the theoretical max for a single storm in this area. Based on how Washington wrote about it - it's even possible it was two storms back-to-back (similar to 2010)
