Statement as of 10:03 PM EST on December 18, 2009
... Record breaking December snowfall for Baltimore-Washington
metropolitan areas bringing hazardous winter weather to the region
overnight and Saturday...
Total storm snowfall totals of 1 to 2 feet are forecast to occur
in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan areas by dawn Sunday... which
should eclipse the December records for both cities. The record
December snowfall for Washington is 12.0 inches on 18-19 December
1932... and for Baltimore to record is 14.1 inches on 12-13 December 1960.
Should accumulations exceed 14 inches... this storm will make the
list of the all-time top 10 snowstorms on record for both cities.
Here are some hazardous winter weather preparedness tips...
1. Travel is not recommended on Saturday... as conditions will
deteriorate rapidly after daybreak. If you have to travel Saturday in
an emergency... carry a winter storm survival kit which includes a
charged Mobile phone... blankets... flashlight with extra
batteries... high calorie non-perishable food... water... and a snow
shovel. Keep your Gas Tank full... and avoid traveling alone. Let
someone know your timetable and your primary Route.
2. If you do get stranded... stay in your vehicle. Attempting to
walk for help in a winter storm could be a deadly decision. Run
the motor for about 10 minutes every hour for heat. Open the
window a little for fresh air to avoid Carbon monoxide poisoning.
Make sure your exhaust pipe is not blocked from ice and snow.
3. If you need to use a portable generator... follow manufacturers
instructions to keep the area surrounding your generator well
ventilated.
4. Do not attempt to shovel snow unless you are physically fit.
Hydrate yourself often with water while shoveling... and take
frequent breaks.
5. Move pets and farm animals to sheltered locations and ensure
they have plenty of food and drink.
6. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio... local and cable outlets to
stay informed on the progress of the storm.

... Record daily and monthly maximum snowfall records set yesterday
at Washington Reagan National Airport for Washington DC...
15.0 inches of snow was officially measured yesterday December 19
2009 at Reagan National Airport.
This breaks the daily record snowfall for the date... 7.0 inches set
back in 1945... as well as breaks the all-time record for any single
calendar day snowfall in December for Washington DC. The previous
December single calendar daily record was 11.5 inches set on Dec 17
1932.
A month to date snow total of 16.6 inches has been recorded so far
at Washington Reagan National Airport... which breaks the previous
record December monthly snowfall record of 16.2 inches set in
December 1962.
** NO CURRENT ADVISORY IN EFFECT **blazin3596 # Monday, December 21, 2009 1:56:31 AM
... Icy conditions possible overnight into Monday morning...
Temperatures will fall into the teens and 20s across the mid
Atlantic region tonight. Any water from snow melt and slush from
saturdays storm is expected to freeze... forming areas of black
ice.
Any roadways... bridges and overpasses... and sidewalks that have
not been treated may become very slippery and dangerous. Please
use extra caution overnight into Monday morning and be aware of
the potential to encounter icy conditions.
The re-freezing of snow melt and slush during the nighttime is
expected to continue through mid week as overnight temperatures
will fall into the teens and twenties through Wednesday night.

Statement as of 1:38 AM EST on December 23, 2009
... Icy patches again this morning...
Temperatures rose above freezing across much of the mid Atlantic
region on Tuesday... causing some of the snow from this past weekends
storm to melt. Temperatures early this morning are in the 20s in
many areas... thus any water from the melted snow has likely re-
frozen... forming patches of ice.
Any roadways... bridges and overpasses... and sidewalks that have
not been treated may be very slippery early this morning.
Please use extra caution and be aware of the potential to
encounter patches of ice early this morning. Be especially
cautious of black ice... which is particularly hard to detect.
The re-freezing of snow melt and slush during the nighttime is
expected to continue through much of the week as overnight
temperatures will fall into the teens and twenties through
Thursday night.

A WHITE CHRISTMAS IS A RARITY IN WASHINGTON DC. IT HAPPENED SEVEN YEARS AGO IN 2002 WHEN A GENERALLY RAINY CHRISTMAS MORNING CHANGED TO SNOW IN MIDDAY. THERE WAS ENOUGH SNOW TO YIELD A MEASURABLE 0.2 TENTHS OF AN INCH. HOWEVER...OF THE PAST 121 YEARS SINCE 1888 WHEN SNOWFALL HAS BEEN MEASURED IN WASHINGTON DC...ONLY 9 TIMES HAS THERE BEEN MEASURABLE SNOW THAT ACTUALLY FELL SOMETIME ON CHRISTMAS DAY. THAT AVERAGES TO ABOUT ONCE EVERY 14 YEARS...OR ABOUT 7 PERCENT. THE 6 HIGHEST SNOWFALLS OCCURRING IN WASHINGTON ON CHRISTMAS DAY...
1962 ... 5.4"
1909 ... 4.5"
1969 ... 4.3"
1902 ... 1.0"
1935 ... 0.6"
1892 ... 0.5"
IF YOU INTERPRET A WHITE CHRISTMAS TO MEAN MEASURABLE SNOWFALL OR SNOWFALL ON THE GROUND...A SNOW DEPTH OF AT LEAST ONE HALF INCH ... THAT IMPROVES THE ODDS SOME. SINCE 1888...EIGHTEEN TIMES MEASURABLE SNOW WAS ON THE GROUND ON CHRISTMAS DAY THAT EITHER FELL THAT DAY...OR WAS ON THE GROUND FROM A PREVIOUS STORM. THAT AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT ONCE EVERY 7 YEARS ... OR A 15 PERCENT CHANCE.
IN THE PAST 20 YEARS ... THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY TWO CHRISTMASES THAT HAD SNOWFALL ...1993 AND 2002. BOTH YEARS FEATURED JUST A FRACTION OF AN INCH. FURTHERMORE...THERE WAS ONLY ONE YEAR IN THE PAST 20 THAT HAD AN INCH OR MORE OF SNOW ON THE GROUND ON CHRISTMAS. THAT WAS DURING THE VERY COLD DECEMBER OF 1989 ... WHEN NEARLY 2 INCHES OF SNOW WAS ON THE GROUND FROM PREVIOUS SNOWFALL THAT MONTH.
OF NOTE ... 16 YEARS AGO ... IN 1993 IN A SPAN LASTING LESS THAN 30 MINUTES IN THE EVENING...0.2 INCH SNOW FELL ... WITH UPWARDS OF AN INCH FALLING IN THE WESTERN SUBURBS. THAT QUICK BURST OF SNOW ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT 1993 CAUSED SEVERE TRAVEL PROBLEMS. MUCH OF THE SNOW MELTED ON ONTACT WITH PAVED SURFACES AS TEMPERATURES WERE JUST ABOVE FREEZING AT THE TIME THE SNOW FELL. HOWEVER...AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT SWEPT IN JUST AFTER THE SNOW ENDED. ANY WATER REMAINING ON ROADS AND SIDEWALKS FROM MELTED SNOW QUICKLY FLASH FROZE INTO A THIN LAYER OF ICE ... WHICH CAUSED TREACHEROUS TRAVEL THAT NIGHT.
PRECIPITATION OF ANY SORT (RAIN INCLUDED) IS MUCH EASIER TO COME BY OF COURSE. FIFTY CHRISTMASES HAVE HAD MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION. THAT TRANSLATES TO ABOUT 36 PERCENT PROBABILITY OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION ... OR ROUGHLY ONE THIRD.
