the problem remains digging out from under 1-2 feet of snow like we did two weeks ago.

Where are they going to put all the snow?

Add up the expected for time periods and it's 8 to 16 inches. Yet it's 45 degrees outside right now.

it's still hard to predict where the heaviest snow bands will set up, the difference between 12 inches and 24 inches.

When I checked Weather Underground NYC and DC will get a lot of snow but Phila will get more.

Of course, growing up in Phila I know from experience that it is impossible to predict snow around there. A few degrees makes all the difference.

I still remember my school closing number as we listened to the radio before school praying to near "318". We rarely did. It would usually go like this...315, 316, 317, 319, 320, etc. Then we'd trudge to the bus stop, get to school only to learn we were being sent home 10 minutes later. So instead of staying warm and safe at home our cheap-assed school district would never announce a snow day so that they could collect a full day's income from the state. There had to be over 10" on the ground before finally conceding. After I became a teacher in CA I learned how school districts work and how $$$$$$$$ rules ALL of their decision, not the students and their welfare.
