| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system lingered over North Carolina on the 15th and developed quickly once it reached Cape Hatteras during the early morning hours of the 16th. It then moved northeast over the Western Atlantic reaching the Gulf of Maine the morning of the 17th. Its storm track was far enough offshore to keep cold air in place and to locate its axis of heavy snow over Delmar and New Jersey. The traditionally "snowier" places farther northwest received less snow.Snow began by dawn on the 16th with the significant accumulation over by midnight. Accumulations averaged 7 inches in Talbot County, 8 inches in Caroline County, 9 inches in Cecil and Queen Anne's Counties and 12 inches in Kent County. Specific accumulations included 13 inches in Rock Hall, 9 inches in North East and 7 inches in Talbot. There were numerous snow related accidents, especially in Cecil County. In Cecil County injuries causing accidents occurred on Blue Ball Road in Elkton, Maryland State Route 272 near Hance Point Road, Maryland State Route 213 near Elk Forest Road, U.S. Route 40 at the Northeast Plaza, Maryland State Route 213 in Cherry Hill and Maryland State Route 273 at the Fair Hill Racetrack. |
