I think if anything heavy falls, that will be southeast of washington. A different model will give you a different solution. You have to look at the averages and we think in the Weather Center here, Storm Watch Weather Team thinks well be on the Northern Edge of the snow. Only a 50 chance of getting it.

Huge chunks of ice in the northeast smashing through windshields. Foot long probably half a foot. And in lake huron, this freight ship frozen in place. A coast guard cutter sent in to help. Actually helping to create a channel for this ship to get through. But in the bitter cold some signs of warmth. Strangers stepping in to make this winter a little easier. We freed the highway.
