I put out my Winter Storm Watch from the RFS/DWS

THIS IS NOT FROM THE NWS, this is from my RFS/DWS.

RFS/DWS has issued a *Winter Storm Watch* for snow and ice from Late Monday Night through Wednesday night. This watch includes the District of Columbia and the following counties in MD: Baltimore(N+S), Anne Arundel, Prince Georges, Montgomery, Frederick, Carroll, Harford, Howard, Washington, and Alegany and the independent city of Baltimore.
A primary low will track down through the south bringing snow and ice to the region as early as late Monday night. There is a chance that the snowfall may exceed 4 inches and the ice accumulation may exceed .25 inches. This will indeed be a high impact event and could cause extensive problems as precip will be long lasting. Travel may be made treacherous and during the storm people are advised to stay off the roads. A Winter Storm Watch means that a high impact winter weather event of snow and ice may have a significant accumulation and cause major travel difficulties. Stay tuned for more updates.
