DC forecast for the M4L next Friday (7 days and whatever uncertainty that suggests) is 45 and partly sunny. Rain and snow are projected for Sunday.
Why should that stop them? They’re not very tough.
What happened to amazonian feminism? They’re looking like a bunch of...well, you know.
Looks like the huge storm hitting California this weekend will hit DC next weekend. Early forecasts calling for 3-day snow event Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What idiots plan a protest for January?
My weather app is also indicating a 3-day snow event.
What do you mean? Weather patterns almost always move left to right unless we get a Noreaster or one of those Vortex things of cold mass of air from the North.
It does seem premature to say this west coast storm is going to push all the way across to DC though. Lots of changing winds could move it North, South, or evaporate it. Although the evap usually happens in the Summer more than the Winter. Lots of variables.
Next weekend? We are scheduled to get up to seven inches starting tomorrow afternoon through noon on Sunday.
Being a northern boy I laugh at how they think this is a disaster.
I’m no weatherman or al gore but generally weather coming out of CA goes up through the northwest into Canada, sometimes getting some of the Midwest. If it rolls up outa the Gulf of Mexico then it drills the eastern Midwest and east coast. Not always, but I did have a nightmare about staying at a Holiday in express last night.
Hmmm.Sowflakes taken out by snowflakes. Poetic.

Is “shrinkage” an issue?
“Storms in California don’t move across the country to DC”
“You’re joking, right ? Storms move west to east …”
No, he’s correct. Weather systems in California almost never affect the East Coast. There the weather systems come out of the northwest (high pressure mostly), southwest,(usually low pressure) or southeast (also low pressure systems, the worst being hurricanes).
Canada and Louisiana are better lead indicators than California. Jet stream steering currents are almost never straight across the US.
Storms don’t move all the way from one coast to the other. The storm hitting California this weekend isn’t going to move across the entire United States and hit DC next weekend. That doesn’t happen.
If you don’t believe me watch it on radar.

Yeah. California storms never make it all the way across the entire US to the east coast.
Thanks!
I think you are correct. When I lived in Colorado we got our winter snow from the Gulf up from Texas.
Below is a general forecast for this winter for the USA.
A low pressure system is progged to develop in the south-central US and intensify as it moves northeastward. At this time uncertainty is quite high, but with ample available cold air in vicinity of and behind a likely very dynamic system, there is potential for a significant storm.
“south-central US”
That’s not California.
