Snow tomorrow is a no go for Prince William County Va. Either we get a major winter storm before winter is finished. If not we will all pay a price come spring. With the looks of the gulf temps we are going to have an active severe weather pattern playing out this spring. Time to roll the dice soon!

I disagree. It will snow, it just won't stick more than a dusting to half an inch, but we've been surprised before with these events.

Why do you think it is a no go? I have lived here a long time.... that precip coming from that direction with the currently predicted thickness will give us something. It will snow tomorrow at least in the western part of the county that may begin as a mix south of rt 28. We'll get between a half inch and inch on the grass and some stickage on the neighborhood roads after dark and the precip will wind down around 8pm with temps that will hover around 37 until sunset...at times it will look better than it is and you will think "over performer??" Weenie Intellicast radar will get you excited but when it is done it will underperform ...but you will have seen snow. Central Maryland will do better and you will hate reading their obs...they always do better and you will wish you could move. But we'll likely do better than Wes in southern MD. There may or may not be a WWA depending on

what happens in the eastern part of the county which is usually different than the west. Schools may

delay 2 hours. That is just a wag from a guy who has lived here for 15 years.

I'm not familiar with this setup in the dc area, but we tend to have some luck from these pop up coastals in nc... Seems the geographic layout of the Delmarva wouldn't be as conducive to snowfall from such a system though

The Delmarva often receives heavy snowfalls that miss us to the east, more so in some seasons than others.

Jeez. Most recent GFS and Euro combo is discouraging. My confidence has taken a sizeable hit.

It seemed logical to believe that a modest winter pattern was in our future but the logic appears inherently flawed at this point. I keep thinking back to some of lwx's and hps's discos through the years. When in a drought it's best to forecast more drought and vice versa.

We've been chasing a good pattern since the beginning of Nov now. I'm an optimist by nature but based on what appears to be a less than favorable 1st half of Feb on tap, it's probably best to ease up on the expectations of having a condensed and productive winter pattern in these parts.

No reason to stop rooting for well timed decent event though. Might not be fun up until or even after such an event but it would still be fun tracking and enjoying it.
