January 6 Snow Update: Increased Totals And New Timeline

Thursday January 6 2022

We are entering a stretch of weather that will feel like winter all the way through the period. New data since my last report has allowed my to feel more confident to increase snow totals. I have a new map below, in addition to a new timeline slider.

This weekend will be cold, and the new snow on the ground may support more icing on Sunday. Then we set up a cold start next week with some flurries.

My UPDATED Call For Snowfall

Slight increase to cover a general expectation for 2 to 4 inches. There will be more in the mountains where snow will last into Friday. Also a possible burst between Washington, Annapolis, and Baltimore.
