A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY remains in effect for: Allegany and Washington counties.


As the latest storm system pulls away from the area, expect areas of light snow or flurries to continue over the next few hours, gradually coming to an end.

The storm generally behaved as expected, except it was colder to start and the area of heavier snow set up farther north than anticipated. Bands of heavy snow set up over central Maryland, greatly increasing snow totals. In general, 5-10″ fell across central and southern Maryland, with lesser amounts to the north. It was a tricky forecast and we certainly got a lot more snow than forecast, thanks to the enhanced banding.

Snow today; Bitterly cold tonight
