It has been brutal for them and for us 3 inches to the north up towards 8, down to the south.

But not bad. Kind of like what we had out there today. A pretty nice afternoon. But here we are at 3 00 in the afternoon. You have to cold air. Theres the cloud cover, then heres the snow back to the west. Were not going to see a lot of snow but just like with valentines night, its going to be a very quick bursz of snow and then were going to see the winds come through. So we could see some problems out there on the roads coming through d. C. Around the 7 00, 8 00 hour moving out by 11 00. It is through very quickly, then things go downhill big time. But collating on the roads even a half an inch to an inch thats all were going to get, but that will accumulate on the road with those snow bursts reducing visibilities if youre traveling at that time. Heads up. I definitely think see some slick spots tomorrow evening. Then the windchills set in. Tomorrow windchills, 7 in d. C. Early on 5 gaithersburg 8 in manassas. During the afternoon, not as bad. Teens and low 20s. And then a cold front moves through. Were down to 8 in d. C. At 11 00, 5 in gaithersburg but here comes the real cold air. Everybody on the negative side. 3 below in washington 5 below martinsburg, 10 below in cumberland. Thats thursday at 7 00. And i do think friday will be much much colder.
