| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An area of low pressure over the Southeast U.S. produced snow across Western and Central Maryland on the 14th. Snowfall amounts were heaviest near the Pennsylvania border. Rain mixed with snow southeast of a line from Baltimore to Washington, D.C. The low pressure system redeveloped off the coast of North Carolina and moved up the Eastern Seaboard on the morning of the 15th, resulting in another period of snowfall. Total accumulations included 10 to 12 inches in Allegany County, 6 to 15 inches in Washington County, 6 to 12 inches in Frederick County, 5 to 10 inches in Carroll County, 4 inches in Howard County, and 2 to 3 inches in Southern Baltimore County, Northern Anne Arundel County, Prince Georges, and Northern Charles County. The snow was very wet and heavy and accumulations resulted in over 30,000 power outages across North Central Maryland; 15,000 in Baltimore County, 6,300 in Harford County, and 1,600 in Anne Arundel County. Driving was also difficult, especially in Western Maryland. Over 200 travellers were stranded in Washington County on the 14th after a 36 car pileup occurred around 2:00 pm on Interstate 70 near Clear Spring. 18 people were hurt in the accident, and 5 received serious injuries. The westbound lanes of I-70 were closed for 3 1/2 hours and the eastbound lanes were closed for 6 hours. There were several accidents reported on Interstate 68 as well during the storm. The heavy snowfall also closed the airport in Hagerstown. |
