As of 6 am, we've had maybe three to four inches of snow, and it's still
coming down, though lightly.

Out on the Bay, today:
NW winds 25 kt with gusts up to 35 kt. Waves 3 to 4 ft. Morning snow. Vsby
1 nm or less...increasing to 1 to 3 nm this afternoon.

At the moment, our forecast states:

Snow this morning...then a chance of snow this afternoon. New snow
accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Total accumulation 5 to 10 inches...less
along the Chesapeake Bay. Breezy with highs in the mid 30s. Northwest
winds 15 to 25 mph. Gusts up to 40 mph this morning.


I just looked outside. Maybe 3 inches and it's not snowing at all at the
moment. Weather Channel says to expect 15+ inches in this area, but it's
hard to believe that's going to happen.

I noticed on the official NOAH storm forecast that they say "localized
areas may receive more snow due to snowfall enhancement due to thunder".
What does thunder have to do with snowfall amounts? Interesting thing to
research.

Yes...maybe the thunder scares the snow and it reacts by producing
larger flakes. We need more larger flakes in this newsgroup.

Many Washingtonians will be disappointed today is not Monday. If it
were, liberal leave would be in effect and no one would go in to work.

And then I'd lose my sub pay for Monday's job. The county may have a
two-hour delay, which means I get paid for only five hours. Thank goodness
I'm not in it for the money, but for the love of kids and wanting to 'give
back' to my country...
