So I go home for lunch...

and turn on the WC. There is absoulutely no mention of any snow mid-week (Wed-Thur) for the MA or the NE. The "local on the 8's" is calling for a "few snow showers".

Has the WC just missed it or did the storm fizzle up?

FIZZLE!!

Aint gonna Happen....NWS Washington just holding on to earlier model runs

[wrkh99]

$1 that DC does get snow this week .

[hurricanedude]

$2 says 1 inch or less

[JCT777]

I think it is better to wait and see how the model runs look by this time tomorrow. If things seem to be pointing toward fizzle by then, I would agree. Until then, I still think my area will see at least a few inches of snow.
