If I recall correctly, I learned the "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" expression back in 2nd or 3rd grade. Whenever it was that I learned it, I've never forgotten it. Not surprisingly, then, given that today is March 1, I'm hearing the roar of lions coming closer. Weather-wise, that is.
A significant winter storm appears likely to blast the metro area with snow late today through tomorrow morning along with strong winds and possibly blowing snow. We're expecting a general 4-8" of snow in the metro area, with greater amounts possible east/southeast and somewhat lesser amounts west/northwest. This is a high-impact storm that will probably cause significant disruptions, including travel delays and school cancellations.In other words, batten down the hatches (does anyone have hatches anymore?) and get ready for a rare event - a major snowstorm in DC and Virginia in March.
