The Brief

• D.C. could see a significant snowstorm midweek, with snow likely from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday.
• Forecasters predict two possible scenarios: a major nor’easter possibly bringing over a foot of snow or a "slider" storm with lighter snowfall.
• The storm’s impact depends on the strength and position of a low-pressure system along the coast.
• Weather models will become clearer by Monday, with updates from meteorologists on expected snowfall totals.
