| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The heaviest snow of the winter season for most of the Maryland Eastern Shore fell throughout the day on the 8th. Snow started just before sunrise on the 8th and fell at a fairly steady clip throughout the day. The snow ended during the evening hours. Accumulations were fairly uniform and averaged 4 to 6 inches across the Eastern Shore. The highest accumulations were associated with a band of heavier snow that passed over Queen Anne's County and northern parts of Talbot and Caroline Counties. Since this snow fell on a Saturday, the number of accidents was reduced.The low pressure system responsible for the heavy snow initially formed in the western Gulf of Mexico on the 7th. By the morning of the 8th, there were three separate centers, over Georgia, western North Carolina and near Cape Hatteras. These combined into one by the afternoon of the 8th. The low though moved fairly quickly out to sea. By 7 a.m. EST on the 9th, it was already about 525 miles eastnortheast of Salisbury. While its storm track placed the band of heaviest snow across Delmarva and Southern New Jersey, its fast movement prevented heavier accumulations from occurring. |
