Sound the sad trombone snow lovers, we've lowered predicted totals slightly one more time. Wednesday's storm will be a mess. Detailed briefing: wapo.st/3akwBfX (1/x)
Huge range in conditions from east to west in DC region Wednesday. Flood watch east of I95 for 1-2" of rain. Winter storm warning for I81 for 6-12"+ snow. (2/x) 
Between the heavy rain (east of I95) and heavy snow (near I81), a swath of freezing rain is possible, with some icing possible west of I95, esp west and north of the Beltway. Here's a model forecast of freezing rain. (3/x)
Because temps will be close to 32 when freezing rain is falling, it may not accumulate that well, BUT some of our colder areas west of the city may see glazed trees and slick untreated road surfaces late Wednesday afternoon and night. (4/x)
We think the European model has a relatively good handle on the storm track and evolution. Right around DC, we may have a brief period of snow as Wed storm begins and ends with rain and freezing rain in the middle. Total snow a coating to a couple inches. (5/5)
