More snow on the way:
This storm is a confluence of two big low-pressure systems that are on track to collide off the North Carolina coast and then turn north, bringing heavy snowfall that will continue into Wednesday. Samenow said Virginia and the District might get 6 to 10 inches, while Maryland could receive as much as 14. High winds -- perhaps gusting to 50 mph -- might topple trees and take down power lines just as service was being restored to tens of thousands of customers.
The National Weather Service predicted late Monday that 12 to 16 inches of snow would fall in the District and its nearby suburbs by Wednesday. The prediction was expanded early Tuesday to 10 to 20 inches. A little less snow was expected in Fairfax County, the weather service said. Snow was expected to start falling Tuesday afternoon and become heavy overnight, amid fierce winds.
Even
parts of the Midwest appear to be targets of this storm:
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for northern Illinois, and is forecasting accumulations of from 12 to 14 inches of snow by Wednesday morning.
I am not looking forward to when this snow gets to Michigan. We seem to have avoided all big snow storms thus far this year. This would be the biggest.
