are concerned, this coastal storm is going to move up to the north and if you take a look here, we have the rain- snow line along the 95 corridor so that's what we're watching carefully. some of the pod -- models are showing more rain from d.c. to the east and then the mix right here, the line right here just to the west of us where we might see more of it. but this could change. so we are watching it closely. but as it stands right now, it looks like we'll see an inch of accumulation on grassy area and as far as streets are concerned, the surface is to warm for it to stick around. and areas to the far northwest and to the north could see more in terms of accumulation. but as i said, that could change if the temperature drops and then it could be a totally different scenario. if the
