Statement as of 12:34 PM EST on February 05, 2010

... 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...

It's starting to snow here, but here in the middle of the midwest I
think we're only gonna get about 3" out of the front. But you never
know....

28" is a lot! though.

We've got between 1" and 2" now, I would guess.

Looked like this in the backyard a bit earlier...

Behold! The iceman cometh!

We're getting hit with a rain/ice mixture. *Ah! February in the
midwest. *It's supposeed to be clear Sunday then hit again Monday.

20 inches of snow in Gaithersburg, Maryland (just north of Wash, DC)
last night and it is still coming down.

You're getting hit harder than we are. Damn golf courses will be
closed for week. Crap. Looks like more snow showers next week too.

We didn't have much accumuliatin last night, but this morning my car
doors were froze tight. I didn't want to break off the drivers side
door handle, but I was able to get a back door loose with a slight bit
of contant tugging. reached in and started the car then went back in
the house for baout 15 minutes till the ice was melting on the windows
fairly well. Drivers side opened reasonably easy then.


It's now warming up a bit and the sroad slush is terrible!
