| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A powerful nor'easter, laden with deep moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, produced a prolonged period of mixed snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain across northwestern Maryland. As had been the case with previous events, snow totals varied greatly with elevation. For example, barely an inch of snow fell in Hagerstown (MDZ003) before precipitation changed to rain. However, immediately west, between 3 and 5 inches fell from Clear Spring to Hancock. Accumulation increased dramatically with elevation in Allegany Co. In the Cumberland area, 6 to 8 inches fell, but accumulations increased to 12 inches in Frostburg with an estimated 16 to 20 inches along nearby ridge tops. |
