Welcome and nice car. There's a gentleman that lives in your hood who is forever having fun runs out of the Milestone shopping center. The info' is usually posted on 6speed...

Ugh: New storm warning issued

Federal government closed Tuesday; 16" of snow possible
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday afternoon.

The National Weather Service says accumulations of 10 to 20 inches of snow are possible.

ABC 7 Chief Meteorologist Doug Hill says it'll be a major snowstorm -- but not to the level of the recent blizzard.

"The 20 inches will be restricted to areas north and east of the metro area. Especially up the I-95 corridor -- Laurel, Beltsville, the closer you get to Howard County and up to Baltimore. The heaviest of the snow will be northeast of Baltimore," Hill says.

Areas to the south could see a mix of rain and snow.

There won't be as much snow in the forecast, but the winds could create a problem.

"One thing that will be different is the winds will be much stronger, so we'll see more drifting and blowing of the snow," Hill says.

Melting will resume when temperatures reach the mid-upper 30s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with sunny skies.

And I laughed at my sister when she moved to Miami 12 years ago. She got the last laugh... she hates snow. I was going to say we'll have yet another round of snow pics from 2010, but I think I'm all pictured out on taking pics of the snow storms for this season.

We've been having some bad weather here in San Diego, too.

Here's a pic a friend snapped of some storm damage at his house.

I grew up in Central New York, where 6" of snow wasn't enough for school to be delayed, let alone cancelled, but the pics here are truly awesome. For those of you who like it - enjoy! For those of you who don't - move, because it looks like more is headed your way!! In the meantime, southern VT needs snow so it's painful to watch the snow going south every storm...

Good looking dogs. Only one fo the current ones is truly obsessed, the other one only reacts to living things that move.

Anyone know the latest conditions in Vancouver for the Winter Olympics? Last I heard they were needing a good bit of snow.

We started getting a pretty heavy snow again last night about 8PM, had turned to half/half rain/snow when I went to bed. This AM it's still mostly rain but some snow. I suspect this is the same system heading up to the DC area.

Best of luck guys. Too much of a good thing.....

Edit: now it's back to snow, and pretty heavy at that.

Just drove to work in my C2 at near RS ride height. Snow tires helped. I did get to see someone loose control and go into a snow bank on 295 south.

Bill,
Yes she did.

It's a 1973 Deck House on one acre:

I made it to the office today in downtown DC ... what a mess!

I just got an email that one of my co-workers lost his house in Great Falls VA (20 miles west of here) to a fire. The fire trucks couldn't get through the snow to save it. He and the wife are OK, they lost a cat and bird, but their horses were in a nearby barn that was untouched.

I'm done complaining... things could be worse!

And we thought We had problems! Sorry to hear about your co-worker. That really puts things in perspective for me about "what's bad".

Well, it's really coming down right now (more snow). I can't imagine having 40-45 mph winds tomorrow as it's so calm and lovely with the snow falling but I'm sure the forecasters are right.

This time lapse photography of our DC winter storm is pretty cool. That tree is a goner.
