Storm Update

Unfortunately it looks like the low is going to track too far to the south to give us the best shot at impressive snow totals. That said, the snow, cold, and wind have settled in and will not be going anywhere in a hurry. Especially the frigid temperatures. While we will likely see light snow continue off and on into Tuesday, it is the sub-zero temperatures that we will really need to watch.
Low tonight: -5 (wind chill -20 to -30)
Tuesday Hi: 0
Tuesday Lo: -19 (wind chill -30)
Wednesday Hi: 9
Wednesday Lo: -4

These images are from the Weather Channel and the NWS respectively. The first showing the current weather with the low tracking south of Colorado, and the second showing the latest snowfall predictions for the region.

For more on the storm and record cold, please see yesterday's post. Stayed tuned for updates on the storm, and edits to the going snowfall forecast if necessary!

East Coast slammed again

From DC to Boston schools are closed today because another powerful winter storm ripped through the region last night. With up to two feet of snow being reported in some locations, New York City appears to be the winner among the major urban centers with nearly 20 inches of snow burying the city. Here is a time lapse from the Weather Channel of our nation's capital during yesterday evening's storm: http://tinyurl.com/635m5gn


Not much has changed with regards to our forecast... Warmer than average temperatures will carry us into the weekend, with our next chance of snowfall and cooler temps still due in sometime Sunday. Please see yesterday's post for more.
