For an event still several days out, computer models were in remarkable agreement late Tuesday on what could be one of the greatest snowstorms in decades for the region around Washington, D.C. It’s difficult to convey what the models are projecting without appearing to sensationalize the event, but here goes: there is every indication that snow totals on the order of two feet are quite possible across parts of the greater D.C./Baltimore area, with the potential for almost as much in Philadelphia and perhaps a foot toward New York City.

So in my book, it was a small snow squall that will have to pick up a lot of moisture to be any worse out east. You'll be lucky to get more that 6 inches.

Two completely unrelated systems. The system that brought you a bit of snow and will bring at best, a light dusting here in PA overnight, is a clipper system. It will be out of here overnight. What it will do is reinforce the cold air.

The system, a deep low that will develop into a classic Nor'Easter is still down in the gulf causing some severe weather across Eastern TX, Louisiana and the far panhandle of FL.
