| episode_narrative | A series of low pressure systems over the western Atlantic brought heavy snow and sleet to the Maryland Eastern Shore. The first low pressure system brought a swath of snow that accumulated three to six inches across most of the eastern shore except for Cecil County by noon on the 2nd. All public and private schools were closed in Caroline County. The heavy snow caused numerous auto accidents in Talbot and Caroline Counties where the highest accumulations were. The second low pressure system brought the next swath of snow farther northwest and covered the entire Eastern Shore. Some relatively warmer air above the ground caused the snow to mix with sleet across the area except for Cecil County. This kept accumulations lower than they could have been if precipitation was all snow. Total accumulations averaged six to seven inches in Cecil County and around one foot in Kent, Queen Anne's, Caroline and Talbot Counties. Nine inches of snow fell in Chestertown. Other accumulations from around the Delmar Region included 7 inches in Wilmington and Baltimore, 11 inches in Salisbury and Dover and 24 inches in Bridgeville. |
