DC Weather Update: Huge Snowfall is Coming, Here's How Much We're Going to Get
The amount of snow we're projected to get has increased big time in the last few days.
March 12, 2017
WASHINGTON, DC — The biggest snowstorm of the 2016-17 season is coming to D.C. on Monday, and although that's not saying much, we're likely to get a significant snowfall. But how much is likely in these ever-changing forecasts?
The D.C. area is currently projected to get a whopping 8 to 12 inches of snow on Monday night, with another 3 to 5 inches coming on Tuesday morning, so there's a chance we could get nearly a foot and a half of snow when it's all said and done. That's a huge increase from forecasts just a few days ago, which called for at most an inch of snow...
Winter strikes back: Nor’easter expected to unleash heavy snow
March 12, 2017
WASHINGTON — A nor’easter is expected to sock the Northeast Monday and Tuesday, bringing with it snow and high winds.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect from 7 p.m. Monday to 2 p.m. Tuesday for:
Alexandria, Virginia
Arlington County, Virginia
Baltimore County, Maryland
D.C.
Fairfax County, Virginia
Howard County, Maryland
Montgomery County, Maryland
Prince William County, Virginia
According to the National Weather Service, the storm could dump as much as 12 inches of snow, making roads impassable and spurring power outages and downed trees.
The rest of the region is under a Winter Storm Watch Monday night into Tuesday afternoon.
According to the NWS, colder than normal weather is expected across much of the nation. Michael Schichtel of the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center says the storm could pack a wallop, with some parts of the region getting a foot or more of snow.
“It’s cold enough for, well certainly, some very significant snows — upwards of half a foot or more through the metropolitan Washington, D.C.-Baltimore area,” Schichtel said. “As you get up towards the northeast, for New York City and Boston, certainly the interior sections could get quite a wallop out of this.”
