This map is legit trolling maestro.

Euro continues to be less enthused about the bomb out potential. It’s come a long way from its dud solution but it remains steadfast in showing less QPF/snow, particularly for DE and points NE. Curious if it’s onto something. Still an impressive storm nonetheless

Feeling confident Loudoun ends up in the Norlun band. Just about every model places it over me here. Putting all my chips in on it as the CCB is likely staying east of here

Yup don't recall a setup in recent memory where the Warning map nearly encircled DC as it does now.  Sad

[EHoffman]

I have zero expectations with this storm.  Everything is stacked against a meaningful snow, at least in DC proper.  The warning map is fucking sad.  Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised tomorrow, but I doubt it.  On that note, it's about to start raining 

[RDM]

Based on NWS radar loop, it appears to be snowing along the M/D already - although it could be virga.  Precip field has really blossomed the last couple of hours.

I am indeed not having fun. Dude I’m checking a weatherboard at a club.

I don't think anyone is having fun in this thread.
