| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A cold front moved through the area on the 6th. A very large arctic high pressure system centered over the high plains slowly oozed cold air into Delmarva. At the same time a series of low pressure systems developed along the frontal boundary and were located over the Southern Appalachians the morning of the 7th and well east of the Middle Atlantic Coast on the 8th. Precipitation from the first low fell mainly as rain. Enough cold air was in place by the time the second low moved along the Western Atlantic for precipitation to fall as snow. Snow began just after midnight on the 8th and ended by noon. Accumulations averaged four to five inches in Cecil County, four inches in Kent County and two to three inches across the rest of the Eastern Shore. |
