bowie 2 to 3. this will be the second historic storm. our blizzard in december was the 7th biggest snow ever. i think this may surpass it. it may challenge the blizzard of '96 that produced 17 inches of snow in the district and 25 to 28 in the suburbs. as the temperature drops and the heart of this storm gets closer to us, our snow rates will draw mat if i cannily increase, on the order of 1 t 2 inches per hour. we have seen 1/2 inch per hour unless you were under one of the two to hree heavier snow bands that gary will show you in a moment. wind will pick up. that may reduce visibility. you should not be in your car later tonight because it will get dangerous quickly. the worst of this probably between 9:00 and sunrise tomorrow. that's when we expect to get most of the accumulation. that will be by dawn. a quick check of temperatures and we will send it up for a radar check with gary. 33 in the district. dulles at 33. gaithersburg 30. big difference when you get to t freezing mark and lob. you combine that with snow rates that will be i
