EHoffman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 i think for us we'll be ok, but it's definitely pretty visible to the farther sw locations. and agreed, almost all the big ones have a dryslot/lull/period of blah, then it fills back in as the upper level low approaches. That dry slot won't even sniff us. If we get dry slotted it's tomorrow afternoon when the coastal is in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far not a flake, 10 mi south of National Airport. That's not snow on the radar. It isn't supposed to be snowing there yet that's why it isn't, it's still to your SW.
