WASHINGTON – You’ve undoubtedly heard the buzz around town already of the potential for big snow this weekend in the D.C. region. The question is, of course, is it true? The simple answer is, ‘yes,’ that potential exists, but going from a potential threat to reality is not an easy task. This winter in particular has had several ‘potential’ big snows just miss. Notably, the January 7th storm slid just south of our region, giving parts of central and southern Virginia over a foot of snow while most around the immediate D.C. metro area ended up with less than one-inch.

Forecasting snow events is particularly difficult at this time of year as well, with the sun getting higher in the sky and temperatures generally on the upswing with the journey into spring well underway. Washington, D.C. has done big March snows in the past, but also has a history of underperforming in spectacular fashion on occasion. Recall the infamous “snowquester” storm of 2013, when a forecasted blizzard turned into nothing more than a dusting, and our very own Tucker Barnes ended up sitting himself in a corner.

I will level with you straight – right off the bat here. We do not know what is going to happen this weekend in terms of if we will get any snow or not, and we do not know how much anyone will get if we do get snow. All we can do is highlight an area that is at risk for snow,

U.S. businesses increased their orders in January, although a key component that tracks business investment spending fell for the first time in four months.

Factory orders rose 1.2 percent, led by a jump in demand for aircraft, the Commerce Department reported Monday. Orders had risen 1.3 percent in December.

A category that serves as a proxy for business investment edged down 0.1 percent in January after three months of solid gains. It was the first setback since a 1.5 percent decline in the category in September.

American manufacturing has been under stress for nearly two years as a strong dollar cut into export sales and a big plunge in oil prices triggered cutbacks by energy companies. Manufacturers are expected to see stronger sales in 2017.

Demand for durable goods, items ranging from bicycles to battleships that are expected to last at least three years, rose 2 percent. That was even better than the initial estimate of a 1.8 percent gain made in an advance report on Feb. 27. Demand for nondurable goods, everything from paper products to chemicals and food, rose 0.4 percent in January after a 3.4 percent jump in December.

The strength in January reflected a surge in orders for commercial aircraft, which jumped 69.8 percent, and a 62.2 0ercent rise in orders for military aircraft. Demand for motor vehicles and parts rose 0.8 percent, while orders for ships and boats fell 33.7 percent.

Orders for machinery rose 0.9 percent. Demand for primary metals such as iron, steel and aluminum fell 1.5 percent.

If you travel often enough, you probably notice that airplane styles have evolved over time, much like the way cars are redesigned. Yet, airlines can’t simply go to a dealership and choose a jet off the lot. It often takes several years to receive a brand new commercial airliner. TravelPulse visited Boeing Commercial Airplanes in North Charleston, South Carolina this week, to see how this takes place.

Like their land-dwelling counterparts, commercial airplanes are built on assembly lines. Airlines often order several planes at a time, because they can get strong discounts off the list price for doing so. Some airlines have even ordered up to two hundred craft under the same contract.

Airlines are given a spot in line, known as a delivery slot. If a particular model is popular, the wait can take years. For example, Boeing is currently delivering 12 (787) Dreamliners a month, with an order backlog of 690 planes. If you ordered a plane today, you’d likely find yourself waiting close to five years, though open slots do occasionally occur.
