Swing and a Miss.....close but no cigar

Well,

This does not appear to be the good snow maker that it was a few days ago. We do have the arctic high in place which is great but what is killing us is there is phasing of energy too early which allows for a more northerly and westerly movement of the primary low.

The primary low is forecasted to head all the way up to the Ohio valley before transferring the energy to the coast. Once the transfer is complete, the coastal is hugging the coast too much to give us snow and its also transferring to far north due to the movement of the primary low.

So my forecast for DCA is snow to ice to Mostly Rain. No accumulation

n and W of DCA could see an inch or two...prolonged period of sleet and freezing rain and then rain before changing back to snow at the end

Central PA,Central NY could be getting 2-3 feet of snow. This was almost a huge one but not quite enough.

Sorry guys....its still Fall! We have a few more months yet to go

Historic Storm on the way for this weekend??

Ive done a terrible job with the blog. I haven't updated it. Part of that has been lazy and the other part is having a new baby and not much time for it.

But a special event is going to occur this weekend and the big question is how much snow? Current models show an extreme precipitation event that would rival some of the bigger historic storms. The question is track and if the Cold Air funneling from Canada will stay in place for the duration of the storm.

Whoever stays all snow on the East Coast(Most likely Mountains,Interior Regions) could see snow in feet. For the coastal plain, its going to be a close call but this could really be a storm that we soon don't forget. The impact of the storm will be Saturday into Sunday.

Im 90% confident that there will be a storm. I know have to figure out the details but expect some major travel disruption this weekend. Check back. I will be updating this frequently.

After the storm, it will get mild for a while but this December could go down as a very cold and stormy one when all is said and done
