Saturday update...
Jason Samenow @ 1:03 AM
The little clipper passing through the area looks mostly like a "non-event"... It dropped very little in the way of precipitation yesterday evening, although a lot of its energy will pivot through the area during the first part of today. Still, the bulk of the precipitation will pass to our south, meaning just clouds for us and a slight chance of snowshowers in the morning and rain showers in the afternoon. Little or no accumulation is expected. Temperatures should max out between 39-43.
No hype, just reporting expert opinion...
AccuWeather's Joe Bastardi said in a recent column that the East Coast's strongest winter storm of the season is yet to come, and implied it could well happen in the next week or so. Meteorologist Dave Tolleris from WxRisk.com says the upcoming pattern may well be the most conducive for major winter storms since '95-96. Having looked at the long range maps through March 15, I can't disagree with these assessments. As one professional forecaster (Weather53) posted at the EasternUSWx.com forum:
Mild Monday?
Just a heads-up that Monday may be one of the nicest days we see in a while -- temperatures could go well into the 50s...
Sticky issue to be featured Sunday...
I will write a brief post about how, where, when and why snow will stick or not stick this time of year...

We have at least 4 storm threats between now and then [March 15]. The historical analogs showed this, the current synoptic evolution shows this, and even those models show this. For cold and or snow lovers, this is a time to cherish as we have minor/major/biblic[al] events trying to display themselves. The ducks are not on the pond, but the ducks are in the air, circling, and looking to land.I have probably just jinxed any chance DC has for accumulating snow the rest of the winter by posting this. (And the record will show that climatologically the odds are stacked against us seeing substantial snow from here on out.)
