Report: CCDC Split From UDC Is "Critical To Success"
The National Weather Service has now issued both a Winter Weather Advisory and a Winter Storm Watch for the D.C. Metro area. The Winter Weather Advisory is effective from 4 a.m. Tuesday morning to 6 p.m. that evening, during which time 2-3" of snow is currently predicted. The Winter Storm Watch goes into effect after 6 p.m. on Tuesday through to Wed. afternoon. That system will bring everyone's favorite wintry mix to the region, which will be some combination of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain, but that will all depend on temperatures at the time.
Stay tuned to our friends at Capital Weather Gang for updates, but take care to avoid forecasting imposters, like our own Davy DCist.

so he's just a disembodied head now, eh? poor guy.
So it's going to snow puppies? Best news ever! I'll pick up some puppy chow along with the usual tp/bread/milk/booze emergency run.
I agree 100% with Davy.
Except that the Pfumpfler-Cloaca Doodle in my Hypercludamichial Forecast Model indicates a Rumpfertery of between 568 and 732 on the Knuckler Scale, clearly pointing to precipitation amounts snozzwangling between zero and forty frooglepoopillion inches of snow based on an average Buckminster Fullerene of between absolute zero and 936 (on the Kelvin scale, of course). Not to mention heavy bouts of rumpy-pumpy with the odd obliging fat woman... and an attack by the Beast of Craggy Island. It's gonna be a shitstorm, people!!!!!
Makes about as much sense as those other Weather Beeyotches out there.
I adore these posts, which highlight the reality that forecasts are like having sex for the first time: nobody knows a damn thing but nevertheless everyone gets worked up about it and as a result creates an unnecessary mess. No pun intended.
Foolish me, leaving the grocery shopping for tomorrow night. I'm going to have to head to Harris-Teeter in hockey pads.
"and an attack by the Beast of Craggy Island"
They say it's as big as four cats, and it's got a retractable leg so as it can leap up at you better and you know what Ted, it lights up at night, and it's got four ears. Two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears, and it's claws are as big as cups and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps and Mrs. Doyle was tellin' me that it's got magnets on it's tail so's if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you, and instead of a mouth it's got four arses.
You forgot one: "they say it sounds like Liam Neeson in a barrel of cats.."
And the average DC driver in snow is a bit like Father Jack in the episode with the raffle: "CAR! DRIVE THE CAR! SHOPS! MORE DRINK! TRUCK! TWO TRUCKS!"
Aw, f*ck. Now i'm really tripping balls. Puppehs from heaven? yeah, bring it bitches.
*shakes fist and spits up desk bourbon*
Unless it's raining other things (about 8 inches sounds nice), I'm not getting excited.
Remember... the snowball goes in front.. if you wants to snag yourselves some loving.
That is hilarious. For once, I'm even here for it!
The Perfect Storm 2 - Puppy Dogs vs. Angry Cats. I'm there!
When I woke up this morning all I saw was this stupid white crap in my backyard and no puppies. DCist Davy doesn't love DC people. Any of you live in Fredricksburg see any puppies? Man, i feel bad about those people living in PG County with all those angry cats falling from the sky over there. *shudder*
