This is the real deal guys. Starts Wed night--all day Thursday. Could see alot of double digit amounts from a Gulf Storm heading up the east coast.

If Ernie got fired on Thursday, you would literally combust from joy.

Capital Weather Gang seems to be moving forward thinking there will be something. Apparently the track has a lot to do with whether or not we get snow or sleet/rain.

WUnderground saying 8-12 inches for DC proper.

National weather service is not putting any numbers out yet. From thier site it looks like snow followed by mixed precip for the immediate DC area, more firmly snow due North and West.

So this storm is going to come roaring by and if it veers a little to the west nothing happens and if it veers a little to the east nothing happens but if it hits us straight on, double digit snowfall.

Whee!

Time to stock up on banana split makins!

NEW NAM Model gives us 20-30 inches LOL

I'm following this stuff on Twitter and WaPo, this looks ridiculous...something about widespread 15-20 inch storm.

Uh oh. I'm going to have to take back my doubts about Ji's prediction.

Looks like we are gonna have a pretty good snow storm. Between half a foot to a foot?

I'm going to be in Philadelphia when it hits, but I'm coming back Thursday evening via the train at Union Station, followed by metro and driving to actually get home. That'll be a blast, I'm sure.
