Early smow alert

Possibly the largest storm in the last few years

Accuweather.com is saying the mid-Atlantic states are looking at the end times come Tuesday and into Tuesday night. A chance for a whopping 6 inches of the cold white stuff. Price gouging on the essentials is already occurring as I type. Buy your bread, milk and toilet paper now and buy often.

The models have been very consistent over the last few days showing a significant winter event for our area starting late in the day Monday and lasting throughout all of Tuesday. Temperatures will likely be below freezing through the whole event and after the storm passes we will continue to stay with below normal temps, highs in the 30's for the rest of the week.

As of now the latest GFS run (12Z data, GFS is NOAA's main long range forecast model) 1.5 inches of liquid equivalent is predicted (the link may be a little slow, the site is getting hit really hard). I doubt it would be all snow as southern MD tends to turn over to sleet fairly often in these events. And remember meteo 101, 1" liquid = 10" snow.

The event is still several days out and the European model (ECMWF) has the system moving further north, giving us snow changing to rain. Over the next couple of runs the models will likely converge on a solution but either way there can be a large amount of confidence in saying something will be falling out of the sky come Tuesday.

Damn! I'm impressed! Although, I don't recall 'meteo 101' ......

Let's see if St Mary's school calls off for another friggin half inch of snow again.

WHO NEEDS SNOW?? At my house we make "DUST" ANGELS

Hurricanedan, you've been replaced.

State road and contractors should be getting their trucks ready to sit and wait again at the tune of $110.00 hr. Sure we will see them sitting somewhere waiting until it snows.
This county cracks me up when it comes to snow.

Yeah, there were 4 trucks sitting near the Brass Rail Tuesday night and no telling how many more were out there. It was totally ridiculous.

I grew up in PA and school was never closed/no big deal. The difference here is the "wintry mix" = rain, then snow, causes ice, which can keep us home for days

well said

I would like to see it snow here up to 5+ feet with drifts up to 10 ft
and have the roads shut down for 3 days.
Before I moved back here that's what it was like just about every winter.
Sometimes it snowed as early as October, sometimes it snowed as late as April. I will tell you, there is nothing as fun as sliding down the side of a mountain on a sheet of ice that was under the snow or having black ice on a bridge. Yes, I'm being sarcastic....but it has happened. One yr it got so cold up there that the deisel fuel in the trucks jelled. The state police had to shut down all the major roads.
The 1st yr that we moved back...my daughter thought is was funny that the schools shut down 3 times and it never snowed.
Then last week her school was shut down again for a dusting. Up in Pa, the schools would be 2 hrs late for 4 to 6 inches, anything over that the schools would shut down. And we lived in the mountains...not the flat lands.

It'll start as rain, turning to snow. It's gonna be too cold for rain - maybe freezing rain or sleet.

I don't believe you. I'm waiting for the official thread by Hurricanedan.

Yeah, well I'm going with truby's forecast. She can beat even HurricaneDan, that's how awesome she is. I remember how she saved us all from doom during last year's hurricane season...
