What is the chance my 6am flight out of DCA is impacted?

Call your airline representative. 

Thinking 1-2 from I-70 south to rte 50 and 2-3 north of 70 is a decent bet. 

Randy’s reputation is riding on this one. The fans got a taste of victory and a loss here could result in a vote of no confidence.

It snowed and the loudest person in the room rolled out of town.

It’s gonna be ugly in this house if AA doesn’t close. 

RGEM very similar to the NAM at the end of its run. Snow back into the area pre dawn Friday.

I know. 84h NAM is ban worthy, but it’s snowing out and we’re all in a good mood so deal with it.

What camera / lens ? Very nicely done. May steal your tiny snowman idea sometime. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Great work.

Thanks! Nikon D750 + Sigma Art 85 1.4. 

Back in from a jeb walk.

We're getting a snowstorm now and you'll get 5"+.   Stop writing theses in the long range thread

Trying to strategize a Jebwalk.  Want to watch the Bills game and don't want to get sunburned from the high sun angle.  

Half time of the bills game and before the night game is my strategy. 

End of week event for the Canadian.

End of week event is another long duration light event on the GFS.

This is gonna result in some good skiing next weekend in the mountains. White grass reporting 18” depth of natural at 4k’. This should get them close to or above 2 foot depth with cold temps the rest of the week.

You can parlay this by correctly guessing which county is first

Fairfax -110

Arlington -115

PG -125

Alexandria -130

Anne Arundel -140

Loudon -160

HoCo -160

MoCo -180

What a nightmare week for AA Co parents. Off today, off or virtual tomorrow, early dismissal wed and thur for end of marking period, and off Friday for end of marking period. 

HRRR steady with the heavier snowfall north of the area but still showing the 1-3” across the area.

Everything but the roads covered here in my part of AA Co.

Canadian better. Still plenty of time for the details to get worked out.
