| episode_narrative | Low-level lift of residual moisture, induced by favorable circulation underneath an upper-level jet streak, squeezed out a narrow band of heavy snow immediately behind an arctic front. Four to five inches fell in an 8-hour period across central and northern Maryland as temperatures fell through the 20s and northwest winds gusted over 25 mph. The snow was followed by the coldest air this late in winter since March 14th through 15th, 1993.One fatality occurred in an automobile accident near Westminster (MDZ005) when a vehicle crossed the median and struck a van. The driver of the car was killed.At Baltimore/Washington International Airport (MDZ014), the snow continued piling on to records set earlier in the winter. The seasonal total reached 62.5 inches - a full 18.1 inches higher than the previous record set in 1966/67. Seasonal snow amounts in the region as of the 8th roughly ranged from 54 to 64 inches, rivalling values achieved during the noteworthy winter of 1898/99.In Hollywood, Maryland (St Mary's Co), the 2.3 inches of snow brought totals to 59.2 inches, exceeding the record of 55.0 set in 1898/99. |
