They spent today calling local officials wondering when a plow would finally come and dig them out. All of the calls have fallen on brookhavens deputy supervisor. That is because the town supervisor is on vacation. The head of the Highway Department today called out sick. Itll take people in the town of hampden, connecticut several more days to dig out from a record 40 inches of snow. People were out with the snow blowers today and the town brought in heavy equipment to try to clear the streets. Governor malloy is urging people to get the snow off their roofs, too. There have been more than a dozen roof collapses already. Some businesses say the weight of the snow is the equivalent of a truck parked up on the roof. Wow. 40 inches at once. 40 inches. Hard to even imagine. That is amazing. That puts our snowmageddon really to shame. Our 20 some inches is nothing compared to what they saw up there. The good news for them is theyll start to warm up a little bit but it could also come with some flooding concerns. As far as our weather is concerned were looking at a beautiful night. As a matter of fact, if you walk outside right now, in the district, it is probably the most beautiful night weve had all winter long. How about that . Pretty good. Take a look at these temperatures. How about 53 degrees at 11 00 right now . High temperatures today 54. Weve come down just a couple degrees from that number and then went right back up to 53. O. Today was the first day above 50. So far this month. December, january, started off extremely warm. Weve been on the cool side over the last couple days and really over the last couple weeks. Looks like we may go back there over the next couple days. Out there right now 53 degrees. Winds out of the west at 6 miles an hour. A very pleasant evening for most of you. By most of you were looking at the temperatures and everybody is into the 50s. 50 in winchester and martinsburg, hagerstown, fred ricksville into the 40s. We are starting to drop into the 40s as cooler air is starting to move in. Fredericksburg at 66 degrees. The cooler air moving in with very strong winds. Wind advisory in effect back to the west. Look at these wind gusts up to 40 in winchester. 46mileperhour gust just an hour ago. 33mileperhour winds in leesburg. 20 in gaithersburg. Nothing around d. C. Or manassas just yet. The winds will pick up though. That is going to drive in cooler air and by tomorrow morning many will be in the upper 20s as far as wind chills are concerned. So the cold air is definitely on its way. What is not on its way right now is any rain or snow. Nothing to show you on the radar at the time. But there is something coming. Were very warm right now. Tomorrow, well just be looking at breezy conditions. But a pretty nice tuesday. I think well see sunshine tomorrow. Temperatures back into the 50s once again. As we move on through the day on wednesday though well start to watch the storm system developing down to the south and move our way. I think the wednesday morning rur should be fine. A few clouds starting to move in but by late in the afternoon watch what happens. The rain moves in first and i think this will start as rain for most of us but then change over to snow. The latest computer models bring the snow right around 5 00 in the afternoon. That would coincide with rush hour. So we could have problems for our wednesday afternoon rush. Well have to wait and see. By 10 45 the whole system is out of here. This will be a very quick mover but it does look like we are going to see at least some accumulation in parts of the area. Best chance for accumulation. I think a real low chance, well down toward the south around st. Marys county but some chance along the i95 corridor for upwards of an inch and then back toward the west. The best chance for accumulating snow, baltimore, gaithersburg, winchester, front royal, leesburg. I think this is at least an inch, maybe two and maybe a little bit more. Tomorrow well have an official snow map and let you know what you can expect. This is what you can expect for now. A nuisance storm for most of us. Not a big deal. Starts as rain for most. Some snow accumulation. Wednesday afternoon rush issues. This could be the Biggest Issue if it does occur during rush hour that nuisance may become more of a threat. So well have to watch out for that very closely. Partly sunny tomorrow afternoon. Breezy and mild with temperatures 49 to 55 degrees. Then over the next few days, notice the rain and snow coming in on wednesday and then after that thursday and friday not bad. Temperatures in the upper 40s. And then winter comes back and says, hello. 36 on your saturday. 34 on sunday. A high of 29 on monday. Wind chills will be in the teens and, yes, there is another chance for some snow on saturday and sunday. A lot of people talking about a big storm this weekend. I dont think that is the case but, still, another chance of snow. Not out of the question. All right. Thank you.
