Quick Afternoon Update

Won't be posting my final thoughts until this evening, but the basic ideas are holding. However, just based on the continued consistency of the models, I'm likely going to be raising snowfall totals, almost across the board. This looks like an all-time top 5-10 storm for DC, Baltimore, Delaware and South Jersey...and may end up pushing top 3 status in spots. This will still be a solid hit outside of those areas, south of NYC...

Still a TON of uncertainty on that northern fringe...who gets shafted? Right now that line extends from about New Brunswick to the NY border. Someone in there might end up with 6-8", while someone not far away may end up with 1-2". Pretty solid storm from Trenton south and Richmond north/west.

Highest amounts could push 30" from interior South Jersey back through Delaware and portions of Maryland. Could be talking 20" in DC and Baltimore. Even the coast now may not see as much mixing as originally anticipated. While it will still occur, we could be looking at 14"+ even on the barrier islands of NJ and beach towns of DE.

An updated map will be put out around 10-11 PM EST tonight.
