Actually, just the euro model. US Model (GFS & NAM) are showing snow. 12 runs will be out in a couple of hours.

Euro model is most reliable predictor of NE storms though

Not always. It had one amazing year (2009-2010). But, other models have plusses and minuses.

It is one model run of the euro that shifted the warm further north. And as we get closer in time, the higher res models (which do not go out as far) are good The storm is now captured by the NAM model.

The thing that made last year's storm remarkable was the consistency between model runs (for us).

What we know is there will be a big storm impacting us and points north. We just do not know the exact track, which means where the rain-snow line.

The anticipation is as exciting as the actual (non) event.

When someone posted the Hitler video last year before Snowzilla my husband and I were in actual tears.

You're welcome. My Hitler posts are carefully curated.

All we can surmise at this point is that significant snowfall is extremely probable, so plan accordingly!

Which sucks, because my tooth hurts and the dentist can't see me until Wednesday morning - not sure they'll be open on Wednesday morning...

Consensus building toward ... little or no accumulation. Show's over people.

Just did a quick look at the 6z NAM model. Showing a bit warmer. Or more precisely low a bit inland. That is not a good snow potential for DC; look for the Appalachians to be hammered.

Wish I knew we were getting a major snowstorm BEFORE I went to the damn grocery store this morning and only bought cheese. Fuck.

Do you live under a rock? They've been talking about this for days. Please don't get your news or weather forecast from DCUM.

When will they know with reasonable certainty? I hate to overbuy food if I don't have to. Tuesday is my normal shopping day.
