DC, Philly, NYC Would Disappear Beneath the Snow

The 12Z ECMWF forecast model for Monday morning.  If this verifies - and that's still a big IF - we're all going to be hoping we received tunneling equipment for Christmas.  QPF totals around 1.6 inches with ratios of about 15:1.  Ladies and gentlemen, that would be 2 feet of snow - more for Philly and NYC.  Hold off the excitement because there's still a LOT of time (4-5 days) for the models to change but if this continues for another 3-4 model runs, we're going to be talking about something fairly serious.
