Everyone else says showers. Rain turning into snow, doubt that would be substantial. The temperature will be above freezing even at night...

GFS model is showing us way too warm right now, with the closest snow potential near the great lakes. It really doesn't look feasible that we'll get snow. ECMWF is showing something similar.

Definitely looking like a good slug of moisture coming in Monday/Tuesday, but the temperatures are going to be way too warm.

Where, in Nova Scotia?

Hope this is just scare tactics to panic people. Let it go up north-way up north!

Funny how the Accuweather forecast for GB shows temps in the mid to upper 40s all next week.

These weather clowns act like they can actually predict weather a week in advance. Most times they couldn't get yesterday's weather right. I'll believe it when I see it.

It's Winter...

"It may or may not snow next week." Wow, I wish I would get paid for stuff like that. I'd like to say that to my potential clients: "Can you do my project?" "Maybe, or maybe not. Send me $2,500 first."

Area grocergy stores need to move their old stock of bread, milk and toilet paper, therefore....
'Substantial’ Winter Storm Possible Next Week

LOL....I want their job! Imagine getting paid all that money where it is perfectly acceptable to be wrong most of the time?

I'm enrolling both my children in meteorology school. What other profession can one be in where there is no accountability whatsoever? "Listen Bob, we know you screwed up the last 4 or 5 forecasts pretty bad... the viewers are upset... see ya on Monday."

This is typical Accu-junk. They will hype low probability events just to get press. Buyer beware with Accu-hype.

This article is badly written dribble. The reporter is trying to steal what Accu-weather is saying and spice it up, and failing miserably. Everyone should read the Accu-weather article to see that doom and gloom Adam is trying to drum up does not exist there. Shame on you Adam and doing a disservice to your readers. Do some real reporting and pick up the phone..

Bring it on - going back home to New England to spend Christamas with the family & ski & snowmobile!!!!!

looks very unlikely we are going to get a substantial storm next week as the temps will still be too warm. but a blizzard like we had a couple years ago would be nice for christrmas. let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Aw, come on, doesn't anyone want to see it snow? If we all put on our PJs backwards and inside out we can make it happen!

B-b-b-b-but--what if this is the once in a blue moon time they are right?

Good , we need some snow..........

So should we expect an email for school closings today for a POSSIBLE, storm next week??

I WANT A BLIZZARD! I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHOVEL EVERYONE OUT FOR A CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE!

Bring it on
I want to use my snowblower

A big storm on 12/18-12/20 is nothing compared to what we will be getting on 12/22. Damn Mayans! :P

Mel I'll give you my address so you can really use your snowblower.

Run for your lives!!! Toilet paper, milk, bread...how long do you think we will be stuck???

After the hot summer we had, I feel us cold weather-lovers are DUE at least 1 good storm. However, all too often we're getting these fuzzy forecasts; "possible snow in the area," and then they clarify and it turns out the "area" they're talking about is Harrisburg, PA, or Charlestown WV. Not that far away, but 'exactly' the Metro area!

Lying Louie Allen is spinning in his grave!

Only job I know where you can be 50% right and still maintain employment.

Louie Allen? Oh wow, I remember Louie SO well! (yeah, I'm that old...)

I'm going by what tails on my locals squirrels are showing; their tails are HUGE this year, and very bushy, supposedly that means a snowy, cold winter. (hey, their forecasts are at least as accurate as the weather guys saying "maybe it's going to snow, maybe it won't!")

Would love some snow for Christmas but can we wait til I get home from vacation in New York for the blizzards please? Everyone be safe and enjoy yourself.

Oh please! LET IT SNOW!! can't wait!!! as soon as possible!!!!
It needs to feel like winter!!!!!!!!!!

Snow is beautiful, it doesn't matter what the temps are like now they can fall fast seen that before. But whatever the weather be saft and have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Blessed New Year .

The latest weather models pull the storm out to sea which would mean little to no snow. It is not unusual for the model confidence to be low 2 or 3 days before the event. If the models come in agreement, then I might believe it would snow.

Snow, no snow. All I know is that I'm gonna buy up all the french toast supplies early and set up shop somewhere reselling at higher prices over the weekend.

Score!

After reading some of these comments, I would wager a bet that most of you would be complaining about ill preparedness ahead of storms after the Derecho came through. This early warning, can prep BGE/Pepco to prepare their inventory for power outages and assess their systems. Id rather take a guess then nothing at all.

Define "substantial". After living in North Dakota for 4 years, "substantial" better be 5 feet of snow and -40 wind chill because otherwise that's just a typical winter storm to me.

I want to be a weatherman and get paid for making "predictions." Obviously the work is easy, lol.

You'd think it'd be more of a science by now.

I want some snow... maybe just some flurries and light sticking though... I can't imagine what would happen on the roads if there were a lot of snow.

I'm not sure but I believe that Cottonelle (tm), the toilet paper maker, is a corporate sponsor of Accu-Weather. Thousands will be stocking up on their product based on this forecast. However, a mirky forecast this far out for the mid-Atlantic area should be written on their product because it's a bunch of it (or something that rhymes with that). :-)

They can't predict tomorrows weather half the time and you expect me to believe this!!
What a joke.

I hope we are laughing at ourselves piled up with snow next week. Remember snowmaggedon.

Are you trying to sell bread,eggs,and toilet paper.

I, for one, can never have too much toilet paper.

I am hoping for some snow...it can start at 10:00 am on Tuesday and go until whenever....this way my final class at AACC is done and I get my grade and I don't have to make up another class....

Since all of you love snow so much...come shovel mine...oh don't forget the seniors and the home bound.

BRING IT ON! 40 inches would be a good start.

Let it snow Let it snow let it snow.....on Christmas....pleeeezzzzeeee

I think the weather people have a insider trading deal with the grocery stores, just mention snow and the stores are packed.

It should snoww !! but not alottt'
