Snow is on the way (for Monday)

Yeah, buddy! We got snow in the 24 hour forecast. And this system is approaching from the south....always good for snow accumulations in the DC area. The forecasts from Intellicast, NWS, and Weather.com indicated that the system will actually precipitate more to the south of the DC area, but snow accumulations may be more to the Southwest due to the snow/rain/ice mix line. The forecast indicated the the precipitation should begin late Sunday evening or early Monday Morning to the far southwest DC area (Roanoke,VA perhaps). Then as it moves closer over the period Monday the snow will be consistent for our area. There was sum uncertainty in the forecast (model disagree, typical for winter systems), however my experience with systems such as these is that the tend to put down more snow the forecasted. In this case, that means 3-6 inches with the DC area.

This will be a wet snow which will provide for very attractive imagery. Look for video and photos on the website soon after the storm initiates through the end of the storm. I will try to get some early images up early in the morning Monday, then take more images and upload again at the end of the storm. I will also have more blogs here throughout today and the tomorrow.
