| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Long standing low temperature records were set on the morning of the 7th as a fresh snow pack, calm winds, and clear skies allowed temperatures to plummet around 20 to 30 degrees below normal overnight. At Baltimore/Washington International Airport a 117-year-old record low temperatures was broken. At 5:04 AM the temperature fell to 6 degrees. This exceeded the previous record of 15 degrees set in 1885. Other low temperatures recorded across Central and Western Maryland included 13 degrees at Patuxent Naval Air Station (St. Mary's Co.), Westminster (Carroll Co.), and Oxon Hill (Prince George's Co.); 12 degrees in Hagerstown (Washington Co.), 11 degrees in Frostburg (Allegany Co.), 7 degrees in Cumberland (Allegany Co.), and 4 degrees in Sharpsburg (Washington Co.). At Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore, the low temperature only fell to 20 degrees due to the urban heat island effect. In Calvert County, an 82-year-old man with Alzheimer's disease who wandered away from his home during the early morning hours of the 7th was found dead from exposure to the cold. |
