“WINTER STORM STRIKES THE MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, DELAWARE, NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK AREAS. THE STORM IS HERE! WEATHER ADVANCE MODEL FORECASTER: ADRIAN OSHON HOWARD

“WINTER WEATHER STATEMENT”:

“REMEMBER THAT”A BLIZZARD WARNING!” MEANS THAT SEVERE HEAVY SNOW CONDITIONS ALONG WITH WINDS HIGHER THAN 35 MPH ARE OCCURING OR ARE EXPECTED! ALSO, REMEMBER THAT“A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS”, THAT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURING FOR THE WARNED AREA. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 20-30″INCHES THAT HAS ALREADY COVERED THE GROUND, A HEAVY ACCUMULATION OF SNOW UP TO 20″INCHES MORE COULD OCCUR IN THESE AREAS. THE WASHINGTON DC, MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA AREAS COULD SEE UP TO 20″ INCHES OF SNOW ON TOP OF THE 20+″INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND ALREADY, CAUSING POWER OUTAGES, MAJOR TREE DAMAGE AND ROOFS CAVING IN BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF HEAVY SNOW. THE POTENTIAL IS THERE THAT SNOW COULD LAST FOR TWO TO THREE DAYS. PEOPLE IN THESE AREAS SHOULD STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IN THE EVENT OF HEAVY SNOW, PERSONS SHOULD INSURE THAT THEY ARE WELL PREPARED IN THE EVENT THAT A MAJOR WINTER STORM IS POISED TO STRIKE. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE STORM STRIKES TO PREPARE, AS ROADS MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR TRAVEL AND A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION CAN DEVELOPE. TRAVEL IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED AND DO NOT VENTURE OUTSIDE, AFTER THE STORM STRIKES, UNLESS NECESSARY. BE VERY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT, AS VISIBILITY CAN GREATLY IMPACT TRAVEL AND ALSO INSURE THAT YOUR CAR IS UP AND RUNNING OR IN GOOD CONDITION FOR A WINTER STORM STRIKE. RECOGNIZE THE DANGER OF WINTER STORMS AND BE PREPARED ONCE AGAIN, SHOULD A MAJOR WINTER STORM STRIKE YOUR AREA.
