⚠️ Potential danger: “Snowcrete” sliding off slanted roofs ❄️🧊

CWG reader Laurie McCartney Wehmeyer described a terrifying close call Monday in Woodbridge, when a heavy mass of snow and ice slid off the roof of a Food Lion like an avalanche, narrowly missing her. She photographed the pile of dense “snowcrete” that crashed down.

With temperatures rising above freezing Tuesday and on some other upcoming days, be especially alert for snow and ice shedding from roofs of homes, schools, and businesses, it can pose a serious hazard.

How to protect yourself:
* Avoid walking directly beneath slanted roofs when temps climb above freezing
* Look for warning signs like icicles, roof overhangs, or prior snow slides
* Don’t park close to buildings with pitched roofs
* Property owners should consider roping off danger zones and posting warnings

As thawing begins, this is a risk that often flies under the radar — but it’s real.

🔥 FIREPLACE SAFETY DURING WINTER WEATHER 🔥

As winter weather moves into our area again this weekend, many families will turn to fireplaces to stay warm. Fireplaces can be a safe heat source when used properly, but improper use can quickly lead to house fires or carbon monoxide emergencies.

Before lighting a fire, remember these safety tips:
• Have chimneys and vents cleaned and inspected regularly
• Burn only dry, seasoned wood, never trash, cardboard, or treated wood
• Use a sturdy screen or glass door to contain sparks and embers
• Keep furniture, decorations, and other combustibles at least 3 feet away
• Never leave a fire unattended or burning overnight
• Make sure ashes are completely cool before disposal, store them in a metal container outside
• Ensure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working and have fresh batteries

If you plan to use alternative heat sources during power outages, never use grills, fire pits, or fuel-burning appliances indoors.

Stay warm, stay prepared, and stay safe during this winter storm.

We've been reviewing all of today's model data and are ready with an update on the weekend storm potential...

Most models for a few days now have consistently shown a storm, potentially a big one, developing off the Southeast or Mid-Atlantic coast this weekend.

Yesterday we told you that the balance of model data tended to favor the storm missing the D.C. area to the south and east, with a better chance of hitting or clipping the Eastern Shore. But that things could change with a few relatively small shifts in the overall atmospheric weather pattern.

The update for today is that the most reliable model data continues to keep the storm too far south and east for snow in the D.C. area. However, it’s still close enough that we are not yet a lock for no snow, and snow odds remain a little higher for the Eastern Shore.

In fact, the latest run of the American (GFS) model brought the storm close enough to give the D.C. region several or more inches of snow late Saturday into Sunday, but at this time range that model has been wrong more often than not with the track of storm systems this winter.

So where we stand is that, if anything, the chance of snow here has decreased a bit since yesterday (which was already not too high of a chance) given that we’re one day closer and most models still push the storm off to our south and east. To illustrate, the European model gives most of the D.C. area a less than 10 percent chance of at least 1 inch of snow this weekend (see image below).

Still, this is only Tuesday and we’re talking about Saturday-Sunday. That’s far enough way, and with just enough model data keeping the storm close, that we can’t yet write it off completely.
