...RECORD SNOWFALL FORECAST IN THE BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON DC REGION...
...EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS DEVELOPING TONIGHT...
GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH VISIBILITIES FREQUENTLY FALLING BELOW ONE-QUARTER MILE DUE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT TO PRODUCE NEAR-BLIZZARD AND EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. TRAVEL IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED TONIGHT AND WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS.
LOOKING BACK AT THE BIGGEST STORM OF RECORD FOR WASHINGTON DC... THE JANUARY 1922 KNICKERBOCKER STORM...28.0 INCHES OF SNOW WAS PRODUCED FROM 3.02 INCHES OF LIQUID WATER. CURRENT FORECASTS FOR THIS EVENT HAVE TOTAL LIQUID FALLING FROM THIS STORM APPROACHING 3 INCHES...WHICH ACCORDINGLY WOULD CREATE A SNOWFALL THAT WILL RIVAL THE KNICKERBOCKER STORM TOTAL. GENERALLY ACROSS THE REGION...20 TO 30 INCHES OF SNOW WILL FALL BY SATURDAY EVENING.
BALTIMORES RECORD OF 26.8 INCHES FROM THE PRESIDENTS DAY FEBRUARY 2003 STORM WILL ALSO BE THREATENED.

May this snowstorm stop every D.C. politician in their tracks and paralyze all their efforts for several days. We need the break.
I’m closer to the city. We’ve been lucky for the most part..you folks out in Westmoreland County and points north have been pelted this winter. Some of our schools let out the kiddies early. One of my friends from my former job said the bosses were letting everyone go home at 2:00. Usually, the companies here wait till after about 6 inches of snow before they send the employees home.
This is God’s way of a smack down for the global warming loons, and lying scientists. Hey, you can’t control the weather....DUH!!!!!
Took the words right out of my mouth...er keyboard :)
My ma lives about a mile away from there. I live way up north. We’ve had 174” of snow so far, welcome to da U.P....lol
ya know, in the old days of band/line printers and dot matrix printers and teletypes, I can see why government releases would come out in all caps.
But geesh guys, come to this century.
NET: the area is gonna get DUMPED on. Deal with it. (used to live there)
It may be God’s way of saying he is quite angry with the lying, conniving president and his henchmen.
BMTP!!!!!
Bread

Now I live in da U.P. 174" of snow as of right now. No body stays home and during a white out people still go about there business. I think there nuts, but, I guess that's how you live when it snows 7 months out of the year...lol
Been digging around the camera locations but can’t find the one pointed at either the WH or Capitol bldg. Right now I’m watching 15th. and Penn. Ave ...http://www.trafficland.com/city/WAS/
The Rove Weather Machine Lives!
That’s funny !
Haven’t reviewed all posts but here’s my take (like it matters):
1. Bush’s fault
2. Global Warming
Thanks for the view....hope this really shutdowns any weekend Congress...lobbyists activity...
Mid-Atlantic shuts down ahead of huge snow warning (NWS Alert - warns of 20-30 inches of snowfall)
I’m about 25 miles east of the Burgh...we are having thunder snow! Coming down so hard you can only sorta see the flashes.
Just measured...shy of 10 inches. With the thunder, our lights flicker...it will be amazing if we DON’T lose power.
