We’re still at the stage where there’s a signal that there should be a storm around Presidents Day weekend. Specifics several days at least away from being determined.

Literally saw abut 10 flakes under a heavy band. Now its over. They let Harford County schools go 3 hours early for this LOL

Don’t worry we know that window is yours. Brooklyn just does quick drive byes he don’t read up. He probably only saw posts about PD in the last hour and figured he’d enlighten us. It’s not quite as bad when it’s at least a red tag doing it. Some of the kids who post some model run 17 hours after it was discussed gets super annoying.

Richmond got a WWA? We suck lol Expecting to at least see some flurries in a few minutes.

Get well

@WxUSAF I believe the afternoon AFD from LWX answers your question from earlier re extreme cold warning in the metros Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 309 PM EST Fri Feb 6 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... A few additional expansion of Cold Weather and Wind Advisories to cover the rest of the central VA Piedmont. Low Water Advisories also issued for likely impactful blowout tide Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning. && .KEY MESSAGES... - 1) Dangerous, life-threatening cold conditions and damaging winds Saturday. - 2) Near-Blizzard conditions expected in the Alleghenies late this morning through Saturday morning. - 3) A warming trend in temperatures is expected early next week, with a chance for mixed precipitation following on Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Dangerous, life-threatening cold conditions and damaging winds Saturday. There is extremely high confidence in a prolonged period of dangerous, life-threatening wind chills (paired with strong to damaging winds) across the area Saturday morning through Sunday morning. Extreme Cold Warnings and Cold Weather Advisories are in place across the entire forecast area from tonight through Sunday morning. A strong low pressure system located offshore paired with arctic high pressure moving in from Canada that yields a very tight pressure gradient across the area. A strengthening LLJ at 850-925mb that crosses the area Saturday morning will support the mixing of stronger winds down to the surface. A sudden onset of strong winds is expected right as the Arctic front passes through, which looks to be between 1AM to 6AM from northwest to southeast. Winds are going to rapidly increase from 5-10 mph to gusting 30-40 mph in tens of minutes, with gusts of 50-60 mph mixed in there. Wind gusts then remain steady at 45-55 mph through Saturday evening, with embedded gusts of 60-70 mph at times (higher gusts possible in the mountains). The High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories remain in effect through Saturday evening for the entire area. Wind chills are forecast to crash below zero by daybreak Saturday, and remain below zero through at least late Sunday morning. For the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge wind chills bottom out between -20F to -30F, and possibly as cold as -40F at Spruce Knob. Elsewhere, wind chills as low as -10F to -20F are expected. This is only the second Extreme Cold Warning (along with its predecessor - Wind Chill Warning) issued for the immediate DC and Baltimore metro areas (as far back as WWA records go). The current forecast has between 24-30 hours of wind chills below zero over most of the area from Saturday early morning to Sunday late morning. It has been over 30 years since this area has observed this long a period of sub-zero wind chills, last occurring on January 15-16, 1994 (when wind chills below zero lasted upwards of 30-36 hours). Cannot stress enough the impact these wind chills and strong to damaging winds will have. Tree and powerlines damage is possible. Any power outages might last several days as crews will not be able to repair infrastructure until winds and wind chills decrease on Sunday. Anyone without proper clothing will be at risk of frostbite in as little as 30 minutes, with less time in the mountains where lower wind chills are expected.

This doesn’t look too promising for cold temps to stick around in the east.

For Frederick? About 3AM.

Fixed. Caught flu at midnight from sick grandson. Up all night. Been sleeping all day. What day it is … is rather irrelevant to me at this point.

Someone in Gloucester or Rockport is going to get lucky enough and probably pull off 8-9". Someone is going to be pulling off 3-4" per hour rates for a time with thunder/lightning going on. This signal has just been way too consistent and across multiple forecast models.

I love it when the wind is cranking the snow around out there. Bring it!

Sunrise i think?

I was wondering if that was reaching the ground . Nothing doing here yet

can't say that from looking at long term forecasts; seen stuff develop rapidly many times. but if that's it, it was still a great winter; several december events, great pictures during the holiday season, big ass storm in late jan, pronounced cold to keep it around for awhile. they were still digging out early this week. beats the heck out of years like, 20, 23, and so on.....but not the blockbuster many here wanted.

Seeing reports of a mix in Durham and snow near Youngsville.

Usually a storm happens when the tellies go the other way and thats what is going to happen.

When does the wind arrive? Gusts to 60 in the forecast here tomorrow lol

The little bastards are going to be hiding under snow and make it just fine through this. I hate those thing!

Ensembles still have a warm look for this subforum and haven’t really backed off from it. GEFS has actually trended slightly warmer since yesterday. I mean if you’re looking for a Feb 2017 or Feb 2024 redux you’ll be sorely disappointed, but still looks warmer than average on the whole, even if it’s not a downright torch.

Man, I've got a lot to learn about beer. I hate paying more than $3/bottle right now if I'm just grabbing something from a grocery store.

Yeah it looked done. My co-worker walked in at 6 and was really upset about his forecast from the evening prior thinking it was going to bust. Around 10pm he finally began to talk again lol, but it was dead silence til I finally said I think you're gonna be good

Exactly Some people on here are delusional

Cheapest I found

It is indeed snowing pixie dust.

Schools actually released early for this?
