heyholetsgogrant Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 First Major Winter Storm Less Than 24 Hours Away Save It Email this Article Email It Print this Article Print It (WJZ) Baltimore, MD WJZ Meterologist Brooks Tomlin says a significant winter storm will impact Maryland Monday into Tuesday. The only question is: who will recieve the most snow? Right now, the National Weather Service has posted a winter storm watch for the entire Baltimore and D.C metropolitan area. There is the potential for moderate snow accumulations capable of producing travel problems and school cancellations. However, First Warning Weather is tracking the storm closely over the next 12 to 24 hours. A change in the storms direction could increase or lessen snow totals in different parts of the metropolitan area. On Monday, an area of low pressure (storm) is forecast to rapidly strengthen while moving northeast across Georgia and the Carolinas. Maryland will be on the cold side of this storm, so any precipitation that falls will be snow. Based on the current forecast track of the winter storm, the heaviest swath of snow is forecast to be on a line from Roanoke, Virginia to Dover, Delaware. However, if the storm's track shifts just a bit north, Baltimore and Central Maryland could see quite a bit of snow. Now, how much and when you ask, right? With the storm's current track, the Baltimore area should receive between 3" and 6" of snow, primarily Monday afternoon and Monday night. Between 4" and 8" of snow is forecast for southern Maryland in the same timeframe. Again, if the storm's track shifts a bit north, expect more snow in Baltimore. If the storm's track shifts a bit south, expect less of an event in Maryland. Winter Storm Watches have been posted in the majority of Eastern Maryland including the counties of Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, Frederick, Anne Arundel, Prince Georges, Montgomery, and the entire Eastern Shore.

ntotoro Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I have no doppler radar or any other kind of weather predicting equipment. I predict we'll get maybe .5"-1" in the 'burbs. I'm probably more likely to be right than Bob Ryan, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandaceM23 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 My friend was just listening to his Sirius radio ... and they said 5-10 inches for Waldorf, LaPlata and Fredericksburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsOrlando Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I remember I think it was 93 when it dumped in the DC area. Hell I got 2 weeks off from middle school at Milton. No snow worries down here though, lived in Cleveland for 7 years. That's snow folks, sometimes 2 feet at a time, it sucked. Hope you guys don't get buried up there.

flyingtiger1013 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 My prediction: 1-2 inches in NoVa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandaceM23 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'd be perfectly happy with no snow. I hate cold weather. I hate snow. I hate driving in snow. My opinion is if its gonna snow, it needs to snow enough to shut the city down so that I don't have to go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_good_brotha Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Put me in the group of people that beleives it when they see it. I can go along with that. However I will still be weary of it. Weather is unpredictable. Therefore I won't expect much, but I'll still prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie4redskins Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I don't think the ground is cold enough. We might get some dust in the grass, but we aren't getting off work/school. I second the motion, "I'll believe it when I see it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
