Winter storm to blanket D.C. area in moderate snow Sunday, and more might come Monday.

Slick, snow-covered roads can be expected on Sunday when several inches will fall. More accumulating snow may fall Monday.

* Winter storm warning for the Beltway and points south and winter storm watch to the north late Saturday night through Sunday night *

Several inches of snow are set to paste the Washington region on Sunday, the most the area has seen in two years. Additional snow or mixed precipitation is then likely to fall Monday into the night, but amounts are uncertain and the best chance for significant additional accumulation will focus north and northeast of the District.

Due to freezing temperatures in advance of and during the storm, Sunday’s snow will quickly stick to roads and walkways once it begins falling in the early morning, making for hazardous travel throughout the region.

The Capital Weather Gang projects four to eight inches of snow in the immediate area by Tuesday, although amounts at the high end of that range are dependent on additional accumulations Monday, which may or may not materialize. The National Weather Service, which has issued a winter storm warning for the immediate area and points south, is also calling for four to eight inches of snow.

The storm will come in three phases:

My birthday parties are traditionally iced/snowed out.

Guess we could do it today but it sounds so atmospheric with the snow all around.

All delivery times full. All pick up slot full. We ordered fro Instacart which ended up getting groceries from Publix - this all happened before the story about the heartless broke.
