That’s the sentence that many people are saying in the Mid Atlantic area because the National Weather Service has already posted a winter storm watch for the DC Metro area that is effective starting Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon.  So far, the forecast shows that some cities could get 5 inches of snow but that could rapidly change is the storm system tracks south rather than north and instead of getting 5 inches, cities like Arlington VA, could get close to 10 inches.  This winter season has been one that residents in the Northeast would not forget… Can you believe that Washington, D.C. has received more snow than Minneapolis, MN? And not only by 3 inches, the difference is 10 inches of snow so far! Oh… and if Punxsutawney Phil is right, there is still more winter to come.

Almost 2.5 feet of snow!

Thanks to MidAtlantic WX!

Now, here is the forecast for Tuesday night….

More snow for NorthEast

We continue to see a very active weather pattern for the entire nation and even the Midwest will be getting some heavy snow by the beginning of the work week some areas will be picking up close to a foot of snow and by Tuesday another storm will impact the Southwest meaning more rain for the areas prone to flooding and mudslides in California.  Could this be a record setting February for the USA? For now, it is looking like it but we still have two more weeks to go.

For those football lovers, if you were able to fly down south to Miami life is just beautiful.  Plenty of sunshine, low humidity, temperatures in the upper 60s… just perfect weather for football if you ask me! So tonight, is the big game and if you weren’t able to fly or drive down to sexy Miami I guess we will just have to watch it on TV.  Enjoy your Superbowl Sunday party and make sure to check back for more weather information tomorrow! Colts vs. Saints… oh my!

Take care, stay warm and brace yourself for more weather coming your way.
