Winter Camping - 4pm Friday Update!! Seems the National Weather Service is watching the same thing I am...Please read:
THE RAIN SNOW LINE IS GRADUALLY WORKING TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION. SNOW AND SLEET IS CURRENTLY OCCURRING EVERYWHERE NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM JUST NORTH OF BALTIMORE TO FREDERICK MARYLAND TO WASHINGTON- DULLES AIRPORT. THIS RAIN SNOW LINE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. THIS LINE IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR INCLUDING METRO WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE AROUND 5 PM THIS EVENING.
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED IN THE FAR NORTHWEST BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON SUBURBS. AROUND 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED IN A NARROW CORRIDOR BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND MANASSAS VIRGINIA. AROUND AN INCH OR LESS OF SNOW IS EXPECTED INSIDE THE CAPITAL BELTWAY AND ACROSS SOUTHERN MARYLAND.
THE SNOW WILL BE VERY HEAVY AND WET. DRIVING WILL BECOME DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY THE FURTHER NORTH AND WEST ONE TRAVELS FROM THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR.
ALL OF THE STEADY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE VERY LATE EVENING AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE REGION.
IF YOU MUST TRAVEL THIS EVENING...BE AWARE THAT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE THROUGHOUT THE EVENING HOURS. ALLOW PLENTY OF EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION AND POSTPONE ANY UNNECESSARY TRIPS.
Per the government's instructions: Driving to Broadcreek is likely considered in the "unnecessary" category. The weather should clear up in the wee hours, so if conditions are favorable, come up tomorrow morning. Again, I repeat: Be safe. Use your head.
I will give this message to anyone who shows up at CES at 5:30p to go up to Broadcreek.
I will be going up this evening, so I can take food if you need me to.
