Well, for those who don’t want more snow, I am truly VERY sorry.   

We will have a chance of a snow shower today and it will remain cold with lows dropping to the low to mid single digits on Friday morning and highs only reaching the upper teens on Friday.

We will again have a slight chance of a snow shower on Saturday.

Then on Sunday, well, here we go again.  The arctic cold front will stall out just to our south and a low pressure area will ride along this front, exiting the coast near the Delmarva Peninsula on Monday night.  The track of this low pressure area will cause light snow to develop here on Sunday afternoon and continue through the night.  The snow will then become heavy at times on Monday and will end on Monday evening.  Total accumulations should be 6-12 inches with localized amounts up to 15 inches possible.  The lower amounts will be in areas that mix with freezing rain and sleet at the start of the storm.  It is still to be determined where the mixing line will set up.  It is possible it could set up in our area, or it could remain south of us, we will just have to wait and see. 

After this storm passes, a strong storm will start to develop along the Gulf Coast on Thursday.  This storm has the potential to bring heavy snow to areas as far south as North Carolina and for much of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.   I am sorry to say that I am concerned about the possibility of this storm coming further north into our area.  I am not yet certain that it will, but it is definitely a possibility.  If this storm comes further north into our area it would bring us heavy snow on Thursday night and Friday.  Again, we will just have to wait and see. 

After this storm passes we will have a chance for more snow the following Sunday, and again the following Tuesday night and Wednesday. 

I still think I might see the sings of this pattern changing around the middle of next month.  Then again maybe I am just seeing things.
