Potential Is Lining Up for the Week

I have never seen it snow like it did yesterday for as long as it did and end up with such a pitiful amount. Mind you, I’m not complaining, it was a very pretty snowfall, but it would be nice to eventually get a snowstorm that actually delivers what the models are trying to sell. Our next candidate is this Wednesday night and Thursday as moisture from a wave crosses the area, and then another wave Thursday night and Friday. Looking at model runs yesterday, both of these systems looked like a snow to sleet or freezing rain event, but trends have been to a colder solution so it’s possible that these could both bring snow. Total precipitation from both waves looks like somewhere around .75″, so if they did stay all snow, we’d be looking at a possible 3 – 5″ snow Wednesday night into Thursday, then a lull, and then another 2 – 3″ into Friday. This is all preliminary and will probably change, but know that the potential is there for a dicey end of the work week.

Over the weekend there is the potential of another, more substantial winter event on Sunday, and beyond that, the pattern looks to reload and continue the threats. BWI is currently sitting at a meager 6.2″ for the season while Philly is over three times that and NYC is over 5 times that. Hopefully the next couple of weeks deliver so that central MD can get into some of the action that others just to our north have enjoyed.

I’ll update tomorrow on the end of the week possibilities.

  1. We up here in Mount Airy (Carroll Co.) got quite a bit of snow. It was very pretty Sunday morning, falling on what we still had left over from the storm before that. 6″ + another 3″ or so. Maybe you should move further north?? LOL
