Washington’s last chance for snowpocalypse is upon us. The National Weather Service has issued a snow advisory beginning at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning through 7:00 p.m. in the evening. The Feds are calling for 3 to 4 inches of snow total, but our friends at Capital Weather are nudging the outlook closer to 1 or 2 inches in the metro area, the killjoys.
This storm is a result of an Alberta Clipper, an icy snowball of hate fueled both by the Great Lakes and Canada’s disdain for our country’s politics and our people’s obliviousness to them unless there’s a war on. The storms are usually fast moving, but this one appears to be eating up a good chunk of latitude, so expect the snow to last all day; we advise leaving the car at home and taking Metro.
Capital Weather predicted earlier that snowfall wouldn’t accumulate, but revised that in comments that we can expect a little more staying power thanks to the frigid temperatures. DCist thinks it unlikely we’ll get a snow day, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed. In the event we don’t, please watch this video as an homage to what is most likely the winter’s final snowstorm and in celebration of Washington’s 2006-2007 winter season as a whole. Be safe tomorrow!
