Ill go with a lolli pop of 19 inches at dulles, there in a slightly more favorable environment than Reagan airport with them being located a bit west which could lead to a marginal upslope enhancement of precip...so I'll say 19" for Dulles

Might as well...I think the first part wont be the big netter, but part 2 will be the punch! 4-8" by tomorrow night and then Sunday is the day to watch...I might have to up my totals once again if all falls right.

Rangewise - 8"-14"

Best guestimate- 12"

This is based on prelm data as I have not absorbed all the data just yet ...

Pretty bad when I have to quote myself! Well...looks like today is the day we see DC get bombed and most of the numbers we said here are being passed as we speak.

Obviously after looking at all the data, the deadline expired ...
The fact is that I expect DC to pick up 18"-24" of snow ... if no IP/ZR mixes ... possibly up to 30" especially if thunderstorms get involved.

Not sure but if the month to date is only 11.9" then Dulles got alot less compared to most places.
