Dare I say GFS looks reasonable?

I'll sign. Would like to see the 1" line close to I-95, but this is decent for 12/1, IMO.

If you're also trying to just sit down and relax a bit instead of hiking the whole time then that trail isn't super great as theres no campsites or anything off it. Instead I would recommend https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/afternoon-hike-at-black-rock-via-the-appalachian-trail-7f8dfc1 (Black Rock Via Appalachian trail) as its both right off route 70 which is nice and the Annapolis rock outlook has picnic tables nearby (additionally Black rock outlook has a overhang you can stay under which is sheltered). 

The overlook at Black Rock is one of the finer ones I've seen around here.  It's a bit of a slog to go that extra distance from the base past Annapolis Rock, but kinda worth it, if time isn't a thing.

Actually, this is still considered early for the region for appreciable snowfall. FDK average in December is still only like 3-4" with peak snow climo opening end of the month. 

We have 1-2" forecast for your area right now, so it should look pretty in those parts come Tuesday morning. I'll be out and about up towards the PA line enjoying the snowfall. Thinking of where to post up. Want to get a nice breakfast at a diner and watch the snow fall  

I think 1-2" is reasonable here...I'm a mile west of rt 15 which, given how this area is, means I'm basically east of rt 15 lol.  The top of Catoctin might be a winter wonderland, though.  That area just absolutely dominates in these marginal events.

Nice run for the Carroll valley backyard on the GFS. Too bad I’ll be in Denver

Models starting to lock into a sleet bomb for my area. Will take that over zr any day though.

We need a 20ish mile shift south. I also hate being on the southern edge. I feel like I’ve seen this movie before and it’s a dusting at best before a flip.
