GFS model, which was the outlier that had the storm running to the south (meaning little to no accumulation) has updated and is now tracking higher snow totals similar to other models.


So 2 feet or so?


Currently showing 16 in within the beltway IF its all snow and not a mix.

Doug K, who won't forecast until tomorrow, has at least said whatever it is, it will come as snow.

Is there any consensus on when this is supposed to start? Or still too early?

Likely not. It’s looking in the ballpark of 8-12”. 2 feet would be a boom scenario.

Is this a marketing strategy to make you slip thousands of $ in jackets, boots, and machines?

I don't think you want to do that. I think wherever you are in NC on Sat afternoon, plan on being there for 3-6 days.


Yeah we used to live in NC, Raleigh, Cary, Greensboro, Asheville not fun in snow or ice.

Snowmageddon was tons of fun in 2010. Let's do it again!

Do you have children?


DP here. I have teens and hope we are closed too, for as long as possible. But I remember having little ones and feeling differently.


You don’t care about what they’re missing at school? In FCPS we would miss the last few days of the semester when they have to finish their exams.


No. My high achieving teens need a break. We are in LCPS and they don’t do exams. AP teachers intentionally build in snow days to their pacing of content. A week off would be welcome to everyone. It’s also the beginning of our 3rd quarter (2nd Q ends this Thursday before the storm) so it’s actually great timing and likely to influence the decision in favor of closure.


+1 snow days are one of the great joys of kid life. Let them have a break.
