20+ Inches Of Snow Possible In Greenbelt Area: Report

GREENBELT, MD -- We'll be getting some solid snowfall this winter in the Prince George's County area, with 19 weather forecasters predicting we'll get at least nine inches of snow and one predicting a whopping 28.4 inches during the 2017-18 season.

The average prediction was 15.6 inches for the D.C. area, with snowfall totals climbing into the 20s and even 30s as you go farther west, according to a Capital Weather Gang report.

Out of 700 readers who submitted a forecast to CWG's annual contest, the average prediction was 18.1 inches with a median of 16.5 inches.

There's no snow in the forecast for our area yet, but if precipitation arrives soon, we could be in for a white Christmas. Temperatures are expected to dip into the low 20s by the middle of December.

The average snowfall at Reagan National Airport is 15.4 inches. At Dulles Airport, it's 22 inches.

We're most likely to get snow during the month of January, according to forecasts, although we could certainly see some in December and there was even a possibility of getting some on Thanksgiving, although that chance evaporated in the days leading up to the holiday.
