Despite not a lot of snow so far this winter, traveling around the region and just getting to and from school has been a challenge with arctic cold and icy conditions being the culprit. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, I’m forecasting yet more snow that could impact our area just in time for the Wednesday morning commute.
As of Tuesday evening, I’m tracking a system that could give our region anywhere from a trace to as much as two inches of snow depending on your location. Areas such as Bristow could see as little as a trace of snow while areas such as Dumfries could see as much as two inches of snow as they are closer to Interstate 95.
This is actually atypical of what we are used to in our region with most snow falling south and east of town instead of the usual north and west. Originally, I was thinking that this would be a much bigger snow, but the track shifted a little; thus, less snow is expected.
Locally, I expect to see about an inch of snow or less for the immediate area. By that, I mean some areas could see virtually no snow at all.
Whatever Mother Nature decides to bring our way, stay safe tomorrow morning. I’ll have details on potentially more snow in my next Weather Beat, so stay tuned!
My favorite thing to do is study the weather. It is truly fascinating. Nothing beats a good thunderstorm. I became very interested in weather when I lived in Okinawa, Japan for four years and was actually inside a super typhoon.
