Wintry mess threatens evening commute Monday night; more snow possible late week
WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - Winter since the turn of the New Year has been pretty quiet in the D.C. region.
The last major winter weather maker in our region was the week before Christmas, and so far past the midpoint of this winter, the District of Columbia officially has not picked up any measurable snow at all.
The second half of the winter is typically the snowier half, however, and this week brings several threats that could all finally put an end to D.C. s snow drought.
Another Inch Today, Storm Totals Closer to 2-4 with More South of MSP Today will be a poignant reminder that January is the snowiest month of the year, on average, for roughly the southern half of Minnesota (climate data since 1991). Not nearly as much as models were predicting a day or two ago, but enough to freshen up the snow cover in your yard.
