Is there a chance of no school for MOCO tomorrow?

so far nothing has happened in West Bethesda but flurries. Will there be any other precipitation in the next few hours?

d: you will have school tomorrow and not much precip is expected the next several hours.

Am I correct in assuming Round 2 of frozen precip will begin around or after 3 p.m.? I really wasn't expecting a 4-6 hour break in precipitation.

I just read a suggestion on the prior post that there is a possibility for weather Thursday morning? This would be a very bad thing. Anyone care to elaborate?

This past weekend I suggested the midweek system could have some "interesting twists". Some have unraveled this morning, especially in the valley. Parts of Augusta Co. received an inch of snow. Schools are closed because of snow in Highland (our neighbor to the west). Some snow continuing to fall to our north. A light mixed bag possible in some areas this afternoon. Rain at times overnight and tomorrow. The GFS indicates a transition to snow Wed. eve. and overnight before ending. Possibly some accumulating snow tomorrow night for lucky snowlovers, especially on the east side of D.C.

During the past 3 runs, the GFS has shifted from another Ohio Valley runner to a track across the Carolina's to off the Va. capes for the weekend system. A wonderful track for us to receive snow, BUT, it doesn't plot high pressure to our north or northwest. A low pressure trough is placed over the northeast Great Lakes. This is where we need high pressure. Instead, high pressure is well off the coast of Maine a little s.w. of where a 50/50 low would be ideal! All of this puts into question the amount and depth of cold air the system will have to work with.

The other models are all over the map with the weekend system.

29 degrees and cloudy at noon.

winchester--Yes, the break in the precip could be that long, or even a bit longer. Southside FFX, as we mentioned in the earlier post and comments, just a slight chance of a bit of snow Wed night. Probability of accumulation less than 30%.

The south end of this weatherline is producing some dramatic looking radar.

Loudoun Co Schools - VA - Closing 1 Hour Early

in bethesda, light rain, 29 degrees

Looks like the bulk of the moisture is going to miss the DC area, streaming to the north of the region.

Seems like its filling in nicely to me...

Ahh maybe this is a sign for things to come in febuaury, forget La Nineo

I'm hearing local roads are in horrible shape. Accidents everywhere.

I hate ice.

I would like to bring one topic up. How is it that in a city/region that has more engineers making more money per square mile...can't seem to engineer enough vehicles to salt roads...Maybe they need to consult some of their northern neighbors such as New York or Pennsylvania on what should be a rather simple task. Are these the same people solving our nations problems?
