Could we have an extended period of snowcover?

In the Mid-Atlantic snowcover sticking around for an extended period of time tends to be rare, at least over the last 15-20 years. However, with the snowfall today and tomorrow, no tremendous heat wave in sight and the apparent trend to cold and colder in the long range, this snow might stick around for a while. That's if we can manage to make it past the middle of next week's snow eating mid 40's and rain...

I am concerned about several days of temps above 40 between Monday and Thursday, and some rain Wednesday and/or Thursday. If you have 10" or less on the ground by the end of the storms this weekend, there may be very little left by late Thursday.

If your question is will this snow give us a white christmas I would have to say no.

There will be a day or two of warm temps with the next storm heading up west of the apps. Snow will be wiped out.

FWIW, Bastardi pops in the mention of 60 degrees along the coast in one of his videos today. He thinks major flooding will be a problem next week.

roardog - I would be surprised to see temps go to 60 north of DC next week, especially in places where there is snowcover.
