At least the Northern section. I took this from another forum. Looks legit to me. Could be an interesting weekend if they are correct.

 

 

You are receiving this message because my forecast team feels it is

imperative for you to be aware that another round of high impact winter

weather is slated to occur from Friday into Sunday across the I-95

corridor.

 

This event is likely to equal or exceed that of the December 19, 2009

storm and may resemble the March 18-22, 1958 storm in terms of duration

and snowfall. In that event, areas of Baltimore County received 4 feet

of snow.

 

What you will read below will not be released publicly until Tuesday or

perhaps Wednesday, and may contain some changes, but we are confident of

our investigation thus far.

 

Our pre-public statement:

 

The Foot's Forecast team in Baltimore, MD expects an historic snow event

to occur during the weekend of February 5-6-7. Snow is likely to begin

Friday and extend into Sunday.

 

Amounts across the eastern Mid-Atlantic may approach 24" by Saturday

evening. Areas of elevation will see enhanced snowfall that may approach

or exceed 30". Several computer models already project nearly 2.0 inches

of liquid equivalent for this storm, which at a basic 12:1 snow to water

ratio would easily produce 2 feet or more.

 

This would shut down most roads and interstates and result in states of

emergency from Virginia northward to Massachusetts for several days.

Meteorologists at the federal level

http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/pmdepd.html> have been

releasing statements on this potential since Sunday afternoon, the text

of which can be found at HPC, NOAA's Hydrometeorological Prediction

Center. Our information does not constitute an official statement nor do

we claim to represent the National Weather Service. However, the NOAA

agencies which serve the NWS have already made clear their belief this

will be a high impact event for the I-95 corridor

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/threats/threats.gif>.

 

We believe that educators, administrators and county officials need to

be closely monitoring this potential as it will have a high impact on

the school system for a long period of time following the storm.
