Weather

Suburbs north and west of Montgomery and Fairfax counties will be affected the most. 

Watch your step this morning! If it looks like it's raining outside your house then it's possible it could be icy! 

As we told you about in an article released yesterday, we are currently in the midst of a pretty active storm pattern in mid-December. That does not mean every storm that comes our way will bring the threat of winter weather. Some, like Friday and Saturday, will just be plain old rain. Monday though brings a very interesting setup to our region and one that does have the potential to leave some accumulating sleet and snow.

Today will start out very cold in the DMV – with temperatures hovering at or below freezing.

The first measurable snow event for the season wrapped up early Wednesday morning across parts of our region. Generally speaking the forecast was well done. From the snowfall totals that have rolled in so far, nobody is coming in with any surprise numbers in the higher direction. The bulk of the accumulation has been on the grass, and now that snow has stopped falling, and with sunshine and above freezing temperatures expected this afternoon, what little fell will most likely be completely gone by this afternoon.

The first measurable snow of the season for some arrived overnight into Wednesday morning coating windshields and grassy areas with thin layers of the white stuff. 

Overnight, the cold air arrived changing rain showers over to snow showers across the D.C. region. While this isn't a lot of snow -- and some saw little if any accumulation -- it is the first coating for most of us this season so be ready for a few delays and slick spots on the roads.
