Those wondering whether winter was really going to show will have their answer soon. Forecasters are warning of severe cold on Monday and Tuesday.

The region got its first taste of snow with flurries on Sunday, though there was minimal accumulation. But Sunday night, temperatures are expected to take a major dip, which forecasters say is a cause for concern.

An arctic cold front will pass through overnight Sunday, which will make for bitterly cold wind chills on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Highs are expected to reach the upper 20s, but with the wind chills it will only feel like the lower teens.

The cold weather is expected to stretch into Tuesday, with high temperatures expected to approach the 30s — another bitterly cold day.


The District has enacted its Cold Emergency Plan from 6 p.m. Sunday through 7 a.m. Tuesday, due to the National Weather Service’s forecast of 22 degree lows, with wind chills ranging from 10 to 15 degrees.

A Cold Emergency Plan means emergency shelters will be open, warming stations will be made available at public buildings, and free transportation will be available for transport to emergency shelters or warming sites for those who are homeless, according to the D.C. Department of Human Services.

Long-range forecasting is risky, but there’s a chance of enough snow to shovel at week’s end.

If you see someone who needs shelter or warm clothes, there are several numbers you can call to get them some help, depending on where you are:

D.C.: 1-800-535-7252 or 311
Arlington County: 703-527-4077
Prince George’s County: 888-731-0999
Maryland Crisis Hotline: 301-662-2255
Montgomery County: 240-777-4000
Fairfax County: 703-691-2131 (non-emergency police number)
At the moment, NBC Storm Team 4 is keeping an eye on a weather system in the western states to see if it could bring the D.C. area some major snow late this week.

“The global computer models that go beyond five days have been hinting at a storm that might be developing on the eastern seaboard. Some of them have been bringing in enough cold air that it would be a snow storm,” says NBC 4 meteorologist Matt Ritter.

If snow develops, it could come on Friday, but Ritter says it’s always risky to predict weather this many days in advance.

“There are some computer models that have it all rain. There are other computer models that say there’s not going to be a storm at all, “Ritter says. “At this point, in the future all those solutions have equal weight so meteorologists actually have to look to see that all of the wheels are in motion.”

He says forecasters will know more by Wednesday whether week’s end will bring the first big snow of the season.

“A lot of people are snow hungry right now. There haven’t been enough snow storms yet this season,” Ritter says. “A meteorologist has to be careful that they don’t forecast what they want to happen and, of course, that’s a challenge in and of itself.”

Paying attention to media-types is what fools do.

So I guess all Safeway's and Giant's will be flooded with people trying to stock up on milk, bread and tp over the next few days as usual.

Derp, Derp, Derp.

Global Warning, Climate change in winter, derp, derp, derp.

Will probably close schools for tomorrow. Is it a muslim holiday yet?

This is all a hoax perpetuated by the grocery store industry. They haven't had a "panic buy" episode yet this winter and only a couple last winter.

I took a Meteorology class in college and if I learned one thing between bong hits, it was that anything forecasted further out than 4-5 days is pure guess work.

Now....off to buy milk and eggs!

It's cold today, therefore global warming is a hoax. Chexmix, libtardorinos.

They say...that there will be snow...this weekend.
They say...that a wintery mix will bluster through the area...shutting down schools...and businesses.
They say...commutes could become...a nightmare.
They say...I talk like...a...stroke...vic...tim.
Well they...can suck on...my fucking snow stick.

Wonder how many country buses will fire up tomorrow morning. Just had to jump my car.

Wait! What's today? Monday? Better make sure to cancel all schools starting tomorrow.

A couple guys came in today and got 11 trustees from the ADC to go around and start most of the buses today and run them for 20 minutes.

I live for snow days.

Oh, that's a great idea. Let cons play on the buses. I guarantee they've jerked off on the seats after they were done sniffing them. Congratulations on your kids riding to school tomorrow on jizz-splattered seats.
