Let It Snow

[mredskins]

I cry UNCLE! Enough already. It is going to be a long weekend of shoveling.

[BDBohnzie]

Very long weekend, and it's going to start between Noon and 8p tomorrow and might last into Sunday morning, depending on which of the forecast models hold true.

My wife is going to the grocery store tonight, should be a mad house!

Here's a tip for all of you lazy people. If you don't feel like clearing the snow off your car, cover it with a big blue tarp. You can get a cheap one from a hardwars store. Once it stops snowing, just pull the tarp and all of the snow just falls off.

Yeah, my fiancee is gonna hit the grocery store in about an hour. I'm hoping that it won't be too bad since it's mid-day and a lot of people are still at work. Two blizzards in one winter. Crazy.

Wow. This will be only the 3rd time on record we've had 2 double digit snows in the same season. Hard to believe.

Here's a great link for anyone looking for tips on how to deal with the DC area "snowpocalypse:"

Yeah I'm hearing around two feet. This can't be real, right? I have/had plans to go watch the Super Bowl on U street with some buddies. I bet the forecast is off.

I don't think the forecast is off my friend. We may not get two feet, but I haven't seen a single forecast predicting less than double digits for the DC area. It's coming...

Yeah I don't think there's any way in hell I'm leaving my place for the Superbowl. Fortunately my fiancee loves football, so we'll likely just chill on the couch and watch the game. Unfortunately I bet they'll postpone the Caps-Pens game scheduled for noon on Sunday. I was really looking forward to that one.

Crap, I just realized I have no booze in the house. I'll be back later guys....

I will just park them in my garage.

lol man you guys are getting pounded, and once again a big storm is missing upstate NY. Very strange winter.

[SolidSnake84]

If we get through this weekend, there is another giant sized storm set to hit on Tuesday or wednesday, no lie.....

Here's what the Washington Post "Capital Weather Gang" predicts:

Tomorrow (Friday): Clouds will quickly thicken during the morning. Snow is likely to begin between mid-morning and early afternoon. A mix with sleet or even rain at the onset is possible along and east of I-95, but most areas will get snow. The precipitation should be light to begin with but expect moderate snow by mid-to-late afternoon with some accumulation by the evening commute. Accumulations may be around 2-4" by dusk as temperatures remain around freezing. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow Night: Snow will be moderate to heavy for a good part of the night with 1 to 2 inch accumulations per hour likely at times. Winds will begin to pick up from the northeast at around 10 to 20 mph, leading to some blowing snow and lowered visibility. The snowfall may let up some in the late-night hours, but it's likely to continue without much too much pause. Temperatures will be in the mid-to upper 20s. By morning, additional accumulations should be around one foot in many spots. Confidence: Medium-High

A LOOK AHEAD

Saturday is likely to start with a second burst of snow in the morning as an upper-level disturbance follows the main storm offshore. Snow should taper off to flurries by or during the afternoon. Temperatures will struggle to make it up to the freezing mark. Look for another 2 to 4" accumulation with total storm snowfall expected to be in the 16 to 26" range most spots (some possibly more, others perhaps less). Temperatures will drop quickly overnight with the fresh snow cover to upper teens and lower 20s. Confidence: Medium-High

Snowfall probabilities:

5% chance: Less than 6"
15% chance: 6-10"
40% chance: 10-16"
40% chance: 16"+
I don't know radar, but this is the moisture feeding the storm and looks mean
