Can we go eat somewhere else then? 😁

If I weren't too lazy, I'd try to find a phased monster dumping snow in Siberia or Fennoscandia and telling you to go eat there.

Well some strange stuff  from Sterling

 

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Troughing will persist over the Northeast CONUS much of next week as
ridging over the Intermountain West is slowly shunted eastward.
Within the eastern trough, a stout ULL will pivot from the Great
Lakes toward the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic Tuesday through
Wednesday. With surface high pressure persisting over New England,
there may be enough cold air in play for at least some of the
precipitation to fall as snow east of the mountains (with all snow
over the higher terrain anticipated). The GFS continues to be the
most amplified with this wave, but most guidance has at least light
measurable precipitation over the Mid-Atlantic.

As is typically the case, uncertainty looms surrounding this system
for the middle of next week. That`s because (1) the upper-level low
will be at least partially cutoff, and the behavior of such lows can
be erratic and hard to predict even a couple days in advance; (2)
the area this system is coming from has a bit less observational
data for the models to ingest; and (3) temperatures east of the
mountains will be marginal, casting doubt on precipitation type.

All-in-all, the system has a bit of a sneaky look to it, and bears
close monitoring. But, at least from a climatological standpoint, it
is not the traditional pattern that brings significant (i.e. warning-
level) snow to the lower elevations of the Mid-Atlantic.

Well it might happen. 
 

latest from LWX.  Not saying major but maybe some white gold. 
 

Mainly quiet conditions are expected on Tuesday. A mix of clouds
and sun will eventually give way to increasing clouds ahead of
the next system. A modest shortwave currently over northern
Alberta is forecast to race southeastward around a western U.S.
ridge. This quick moving Alberta Clipper system eventually
spreads precipitation into the Alleghenies by late Tuesday. With
overnight temperatures dropping into the upper 20s to low 30s,
any rain should quickly transition over to snow. All of this
activity eventually shifts focus toward the I-81 corridor and
points eastward. With the timing aligning with the coolest
portion of the day, it could easily be snow at the onset for
most locations. Continue to check back at weather.gov/lwx/winter
for the latest winter forecasts.

Rain/drizzle here. Nary a snowflake in sight.

Edit: actually saw a few flakes on our drive across the mountain. Went from 35 degrees and drizzle in the valley to 33 degrees and light snow on top. Barely started down the other side before it went back to rain though.
