Temperature 30, dewpoint now 21 degrees. An area of snow is overhead. Still no flakes, but I am monitoring the situation. Some more flurries of light snow to our west may move east later to give us a coating. We'll see.

Temperature is now 29 degrees. The dewpoint is 24 degrees. Snow showers are to our east. But there are more radar echoes off to our west and the area of snow is filling in to the west, so it looks increasingly likely that we will see some light snow later tonight. If it starts by 115am, I might get to see it. The ambient temperature and the dewpoints are only about 5 degrees apart now. We should have snow reaching the ground later tonight. I am forecasting a dusting to an inch of snow accumulation.

How'd you enjoy your snow Jeb? Prince William county schools have a 2 hr. delay, so looks like you got at least an inch! :)

Snowing in Alexandria as well this morning. Roads are icy, city did not salt/sand. About 1/4 -1/2 inch in places. Pretty to look at on the trees. Jeb- I think you got your 17 flurries!! The next two weeks will bring us more I am quite sure. 28 degrees.

Congratulations SE Virginia and North Carolina, you guys (and gals) are seeing some nice snows about now, judging from this radar!

Woodbridge has an inch of snow!!! LOOKS LIKE I BUSTED LOL!!! I very much doubted we'd see an accumulation! We are observing a light steady snow here at 27 degrees/25 degree dewpoint. Winds are now NNE at 5 to 12 mph.

Can you believe this? Tonight we are in for a low of 12, then tomorrow 22 to 25 for a high temperature, then lows tomorrow night will be near 7 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!


Boy am I gonna enjoy every step of that jebwalk tomorrow night-----it's going to be very refreshing and bracingly cool outside. Hopefully there will be something of a cool breeze or at least a light air.

Bring it!!!!
Bring it!!!!
Bring it!!!!


The ground looks very much like an old Currier & Ives lithograph. It's nice to see the snow again!!! I'm very happy------I had only expected a few flurries and a coating.


EDIT!!!!!!! Whoa!!! The snow is verging on Moderate!!!!! Yeah baby, Bring It!!!!! WOOOOOO--HOOOOOO!!!!! :) :) :)


-ARCTIC BLAST JEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IT !!!!!!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!! :)

Have received a very nice 3 inches here so far in my area and what a beautiful sight!! :D Gradually tapering off later this afternoon....

Went to work this morning and made it there okay and because it was a SLOW day (customer-wise) the supervisor and manager let their employees go home after a half-day. :)

Still some light flurry activity. Snow has melted a bit as it is right at 32. Wind chill advisory for tonight and the NWS mentioning a series of storms for the next 7-10 days with the later storms having more energy/moisture to work with, could be interesting.

Winter Weather Statement

Expires 2:00 PM EST on January 10, 2004

Statement as of 3:30 PM EST on January 9, 2004

330 PM EST Fri Jan 9 2004

... A black ice advisory is in effect after midnight tonight through mid morning Saturday...

As a reinforcing shot of cold air drops temperatures into the 20s late tonight... any residual melted snow on roads and sidewalks will refreeze into patches of black ice... leading to possible travel problems overnight through Saturday morning. Anyone driving after midnight tonight through Saturday morning should use extra caution and allow extra time to reach your destination. Drive below the posted speeds... and be alert for potential slick spots. Keep a safe distance away from other cars... to avoid an accident if sudden braking is necessary. Bridges and overpasses will be most susceptible to black ice formation. Black ice is a thin sheet of ice that takes on the appearance of wet asphalt and is difficult to see at night.

In addition... blustery northeast winds behind the front in combination with the chilly temperatures will bring wind chill readings down into the single digits and teens. Those planning to be outdoors late tonight through Saturday should dress appropriately. Temperatures are expected to remain around or just below the freezing mark through Saturday.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for further details or updates.
