Baby-G gets an idea and only changes a tiny bit run to run - gonna start calling it Rock Steady (a moniker I was given when young)

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
With the Arctic air mass in place, the region will need to keep
a close eye on multiple disturbances which may produce light
snow accumulations. Most notably, enhanced southwesterly flow
coming out of the nation`s mid-section will push through the
region early Monday morning. High-resolution models have started
to edge northward with the associated precipitation shield.
While precipitation amounts are on the lighter side, the cold
ground will likely yield some light snow accumulations. At this
point, any snow totals would stay under a half inch and remain
south of the U.S. 50 corridor in Virginia and Maryland. This
wave gradually exits during the middle of the day. Expect a cold
day on Monday as high temperatures struggle to escape the
low/mid 30s, with upper teens to 20s in the mountains. However,
winds will drop off so wind chill effects should be minimized.
Not much sunshine will be had as skies remain mostly cloudy
throughout the day.

A system which has been followed closely for several days now
will push across the region late Monday into Tuesday. Although
the former model solutions which showed a strong coastal storm
have disappeared, the threat for light snow still exists. Over
the course of 12 to 24 hours, an inch or two of snow could be
mustered depending on how this system takes shape. This would
affect the Tuesday morning commute so this does bear watching as
untreated surfaces would see accumulations on the very cold
ground. The feature of interest currently lies over western
North America, so many details will gradually become resolved in
the upcoming model cycles. Except for far southern Maryland,
thermal profiles should not be an issue as snow would be the
dominant precipitation type. For St. Mary`s County, some rain
could mix in depending on air temperatures and dew points.
Tuesday`s high temperatures are forecast to be mid 30s for
locations along and south of I-95, with upper 20s to around
freezing for areas to the north and west. Of course the most
frigid conditions sit over the Alleghenies as highs are stuck in
the teens.

As the system exits the area Tuesday evening, expect an uptick
in northwesterly winds. Gusts up to 20 mphs are possible,
locally a bit higher along the Allegheny Mountains. Given the
cold air mass in place, wind chills again drop back into those
hazardous ranges. With forecast low temperatures ranging from 10
to 20 degree (low/mid single digits over the higher terrain),
wind chills fall into the single digits for many. Additional
wind chill headlines are likely for the Alleghenies as it will
feel like the negative teens in a number of spots.

It may be in the same state as me, but it even feels far away from me quite often.

Some of these GIFs should come with Antivert or Dramamine 

I do it extra fast for our good friend MJ who likes them.  lol But in all honesty, it seems to help just focus on the "trend" rather than numbers when it's this fast.  At least how I see it.

I'm actually ok with the fast ones.

It's cats like RTC and RickRd I worry about. Based on their overnight postings, they're riding the edge of sanity to begin with. Wouldn't take much to send them into a complete tailspin.

Chance of 4"+ .. blue is 30% plus.  This is not a banger, but fluff could make this a low-end moderate event for someone in the MidAtl.  Better chance up in New England/Maine.

After nearly wrecking myself with that Sakrete Snow from last time, I know I'll love me some "Fluff Factor"

Don't forget to put the phone on vibrate.
