| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Double barrel low pressure systems spread a mixture of sleet and freezing rain across the Maryland Eastern Shore. Precipitation started briefly as light snow across northern Cecil County. Precipitation spread across the area by noon on the 9th. Strong east winds helped change it from sleet and freezing rain to plain rain from southeast to northwest across the area with the least amount of freezing precipitation across Caroline and Talbot Counties. Freezing rain persisted the longest and into the evening in Cecil County. The significant precipitation ended by the late evening of the 9th. The wintry mix did cause slippery roads, but no very serious accidents were reported. The lows went from the central Ohio Valley and Georgia the morning of the 9th to Lake Huron (the former) and Boston (the latter) the morning of the 10th. Keeping separate identities prevented these lows from dropping heavier precipitation across the area. |
