We'll leave it at that for now. In closing, though, let me point out that the 00Z Fri ETA is rolling in as I write this. It is colder, with a stronger high pressure than the 18Z run... but that is only through 36 hours (as far in as it is right now). This may not continue through the remainder of the forecast period, but, if it does, we may need to go for an even more wintry forecast. Let's wait and see, but the point is, while the general forecast is pretty high confidence, there are several minor details we're still trying to work out. And just as I finish writing this, the new ETA is in even a bit further and continues, mainly (except in the far SW - across SW VA/NW NC) colder. So, let me emphasize one last time that the snowfall map above is subject to change and, if current trends continue, it could get particularly more snowy... especially in inland areas southeast of the major snowfall axis.
