Operational Model vs Ensembles (AMERICAN) and GLOBAL'S ..Who is right?

DOES THE CORRECTION WEST COME TRUE? IF SO .. HOW MUCH MIXING COMES INTO PLAY..


Let's play it by the numbers right now..  this is the model break down per city.. I only used QPF AT FROZEN LEVEL.. This is 850MB and 2M surface numbers.. the 900mb level was not taken into consideration.. However that level of fronzen could mix down sleet which would cut totals in half.. Kind of my theory for what Baltimore and Philadelphia will go through.

THERE IS LITTLE CONSISTENCY ON EXACTLY THE TRACK AND  AMOUNT OF MILD AIR THAT GETS WORKED INTO THE SYSTEM.

 MASCO'S THOUGHTS.
 
I still see the best lift and cold air NW of the 95 cities.  The exact line and area of best
snows are still undetermined.  I like the idea of a 2-4" snow for Philadelphia however,
I maybe leaning towards a 3-6" if the idea of less of a western shift comes into
play.  Baltimore is a consistant 2-4" while NYC is a really toss up between nothing
to 6-12" ... I would like to see the EURO 12z today before making a change to more
of a western moving storm.  It's a battle between the AMERICAN OPERATIONAL'S EAST PATH
VS THEIR ENSEMBLE WESTERN TRACK WHICH ALSO IN AGREEMENT WITH THE EURO, UKMET, GGEM.
