Meteorologist CHUCK BELL’s LATEST FORECAST from  nbcwashington.com

Welcome to your weekend everyone! Get ready for a piece of Washington weather history to land on your house today. All indications are that the snow today will break the all-time December record. The 1 day snow record for DC in December is 11.5″ set on December 17, 1932 and the record for the most snow ever in the MONTH of December is 16.2″ in December of 1962. Heavy snow is already falling and will continue for the remainder of the day. Travel is NOT recommended today or tonight. The heaviest snows will fall towards the Bay and the Eastern Shore, but snow totals around the city will likely exceed 12″-18″. The snow will taper off by Sunday morning, but by then everyone will be snowed in. Most locations should get around 12″ of snow, but there will be a few pockets of snow in excess of 24″. Have a great (wintery) weekend. We will be on the air all day.
SATURDAY:
Winter Storm / Blizzard Warning
12″ – 20″ Snow Accumulation
Blowing & Drifting Snow
Wind: Northeast 20-30 mph
Highs: 27°- 32°

12/14/09 Freezing Rain & Wind was a problem for foothills & Whatcom Co.

A Strong East Wind blew through the Cascade Passes at 25 miles per hour with gusts to 45 and the temperature was near freezing in the foothills.  Gold Bar to North Bend to Enumclaw and points Eastward had some icing on trees and roads as freezing rain moves into the area on 12/14/09. (The Anniversary of the Hanukkah Eve Wind Storm of 2006 Dec. 14th & 15th)

My Mother-in-Law near Bellingham (on the water)  reported a gusty wind and she’s called it an ice storm.  She said the window’s became a sheet of ice along with with roads as freezing rain fell late on 12/14/09.

One of my Tweeters on Twitter, up near the Canadian Border, said was so windy and a total white out in Lynden.

A Winter Storm Warning for Heavy Snow, Some Freezing Rain and strong wind gusts continued in the Cascade Passes 12/15/09.
