Also terrible for the Carolinas seeing all that deep convection south is likely robbing a lot of moisture

Now glad my wife shut down the mountains trip for this weekend. Looking like next weekend might be the better weekend for the mountains anyways.
We got sleeted in Greensboro. It would've been kind of cool if the DC area didn't get their third snowmageddon in the last 6 years with that storm. In comparison, it was awful. And worst of all that's the last time I saw more than an inch of snow on the ground. What does snow even look like?

yep, I’m a little disappointed with how things have trended for this weekend, but it’ll be nice to get away with my family. Maybe the nw flow snow showers will surprise us, but I’m not counting on it.
I also wouldn’t count it out to go back again next weekend with the wife if things trended towards a nice event. It sure would be nice to score at home though.
Rates will overcome all.
I am hoping for the best for you all. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year who love the Frozen movies and have been begging for snow. Hard to explain to them that Daddy can't control mother nature haha.

300+ hrs away? Don’t fall for it again. Get it within 3 days and I’ll bite. Good to see something positive though.

So, why do I have this sky cover right now, and the local weather station reports "Fair" for the current weather conditions. I would have thought it should qualify as overcast. Am I missing something here?

For one thing, there no high pressure entrenched to the north.

Bingo! Without a big high all we have is a marginal set up.

That's a neat find -- you can easily iterate through the forecast discussions and see how the event unfolded. Really fascinating reading the forecasts catch up to the storm in real-time:
IEM :: NWS Text Product by Issuing Center by Date
Iowa Environmental Mesonet of Iowa State University
Marginal temp profiles are part of some of the biggest snow storms of the south, for instance February 25 2015 and December 8 2017. We live in the south and it’s just something we deal with.
BamWx update today was nothing short of Fugly for the next month! ?

I want one good reason why i should believe a cold forecast for 14+ days out. How many times have we seen this play out this year alone, let alone last year?
I HOPE i'm wrong, but i'm not holding my breath.
I hope a big helping of it!
ONLY CHANCE for snow central US and far NE.
There doesn't always need to be a high to the north. Does that help bring the cold air supply? Sure it does. I would rather have marginal temps then cold and dry with suppression. Sometimes you have to look at things at a different perspective.
