"East Coast Braces for Potentially Historic Weekend Snowfall"

The Washington, D.C. metro area is preparing for its first significant snowfall of the season on Saturday, which could be the most substantial snow the area has seen in two years. The storm is expected to start as snow in the morning before transitioning to rain in the afternoon, with the best chances for significant snow accumulations to the north and west of the District. The American model predicts about 1 to 1.6 inches of slushy snow for D.C. before the changeover to rain, marking a notable event compared to the minimal snowfall of the previous season.
