Snowcrete LIVES!!!

Suzanne Gordon, a CWG reader, had noticed a "snow mountain" near the garage behind the Plant Sciences Building at the University of Maryland in College Park on March 15. She was curious if it was still there on Thursday (April 9) this week.

It WAS!

"It's still more than four and a half feet long and at least a yard high at its highest point," she wrote to us. "I think the longevity of this huge hunk is pretty impressive."

We agree it's impressive. But if it's still there, we doubt it will survive through early this week, with highs soaring above 90.

Is this the last surviving Snowcrete in the DMV?

Recall the Snowcrete storm was on Jan. 25!

@MatthewCappucci How fast and powerful must the winds be to create such a giant chunk of hail?

@HenryMargusity I love your work but this map looks loco 😜

[Stormin' @StorminDMV]

@WashingtonianWx Interesting...models keep moving it west or is it just me?

[Stormin' @StorminDMV]

@sarac88880 @WashingtonianWx That's what she said

Today @CatoInstitute published our report providing the first look at the fiscal effects of the wave of legal & illegal immigration over the last 3 decades. It shows immigrants created surpluses every year, by a combined $14.5 trillion, even as deficits grew

Programming note: We'll be updating our snow/ice projections and sharing that info by midday (Friday). Trends are toward more ice! Ice is not nice.

A Moderate Winter Storm Threat has been issued for the entire DMV region for Saturday and Sunday. Details on specific timing and accumulation are still unclear.

Though, confidence is starting to increase in a significant winter storm this weekend. This includes the possibility of significant travel delays and widespread closures.

It wouldn’t hurt to begin to looking at possibly changing any travel plans this weekend as well as begin buying shovels if you need some.

Stocking up on essentials now is recommended, but there is no need to panic buy. Topping off your gas tank before the storm wouldn’t hurt as well. #vawx #mdwx #dcwx #wvwx

@atrupar How many Trumpers think this is real?

❄️Weekend winter storm potential is officially on everyone’s radar

The graphic here is from the National Weather Service, and what really stands out is the huge swath of the country that could be impacted. The Mid-Atlantic is highlighted as one of the more likely regions to see at least moderate snow impacts, with the highest odds just south of D.C.

You may have already seen some BIG snow numbers floating around on weather apps or social media today.

Could those happen? Yes.
Are they a lock or even probable? No.

Why the uncertainty?
The storm is still 5–6 days away, and storm track shifts will make a big difference in what happens.

Our earlier post today (Monday) laying out the four different scenarios still holds.

Bottom line: You’re going to see a lot of different forecasts from a lot of different sources over the next few days.

Stick with us here for steady, science-based updates — without the hype.

More refinements coming Tuesday.

This is trending poorly. Kp index down to 7. We want it 9+ for aurora in the DC area. It was 10 just before sunset; unfortunate...
