Prediction: they say it's just so darn tricky to call and set a range of 0 to 12 inches.

That isn't correct.. I have an event Tuesday night so I am watching this like a hawk. The lowest is more like 4 inches..

PP here- ok I realize I replied to a CWG "nowcast" group. They NEVER give any forecast until the damn snow/rain/whatever is clobbering us. I was reading on real forecaster sites.

I just looked at a model that looks like a foot of snow.

Let's all meet back here with a glass of wine!

Wth, Mother Nature? I've almost made it through the season without buying anyone snow boots. Don't piss me off.

Did you come out of a coma just now?

Immediate metro area, inside the Beltway

One inch or more: 70 percent chance
Four inches or more: 50 percent chance
Eight inches or more: 40 percent chance

North and west of the Beltway

One inch or more: 85 percent chance
Four inches or more: 70 percent chance
Eight inches or more: 55 percent chance

South and east of the Beltway

One inch or more: 60 percent chance
Four inches or more: 35 percent chance
Eight inches or more: 20 percent chance

so what's the latest for moco?

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.

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

You shouldn't overbuy. Power might go out. Just focus on non-perishables.
