| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Low pressure over the southeastern U.S., combined with weak polar high pressure moving east of New England, produced a small area of light snow and sleet which changed to freezing rain late at night. In Washington Co (MDZ003), snow/sleet accumulations ranged from 1 inch near Hagerstown to 3 inches near Hancock. A broad area of 3 inches of measured snow was observed in Allegany Co, with the highest elevations of the far western portion (Frostburg) receiving around 4 inches. Slushy roads were noted, especially from western Washington Co through Allegany Co. Precipitation changed to a cold rain around dawn on the 23rd.Though several accidents were noted, few were significant. A notable accident involved a tractor-trailer which flipped along Interstate 70 just east of Hancock (MDZ003). No injuries occurred. |
