Storm of the Century of the Week Update

Looks like Mother Nature has decided to go with the hanging curve instead of bringing the heater:

At the time of precipitation onset... light rain and snow will dominate over northern and central Virginia... the eastern Panhandle of West Virginia... the Potomac Highlands and lower southern Maryland. Precipitation will begin later this afternoon and evening in The Highlands and spread eastward. The precipitation type is expected to change over to snow and sleet tonight. On Tuesday... snow and sleet will change to freezing rain over most areas by the afternoon. Over lower southern Maryland... freezing rain may change over to all rain late Tuesday night.

Snow and sleet potential overnight Monday into Tuesday could
total one to two inches by Tuesday morning in the Potomac
Highlands with around an inch expected elsewhere. Tuesday and
Tuesday night... significant accumulations of freezing rain are likely
across most of region. Temperatures are forecast to remain below
freezing from Monday night through Wednesday morning... with the
exception of lower southern Maryland.

This means that we get all the nastiness of a winter storm without any of the benefits, i.e., snow in which to play. I suppose it's my fault, as I had told the Llama-ettes over the weekend that we might get a big snow fall.
