| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A coastal low pressure system caused heavy snow and rain to fall across Cecil County from around noon on the 14th into the early morning of the 15th. The rain/snow line meandered in the county for most of the 14th. When precipitation became heavier, the rain/snow line dipped south toward Kent County. When precipitation became lighter, the snow changed to rain and the rain/snow line approached the Pennsylvania border. In central Cecil County precipitation started as snow, changed to rain at 5 p.m. EST, went back to snow at 6 p.m. EST and changed over to rain for good after 10 p.m. EST. A second shot of light snow and flurries caused little if any additional accumulations during the morning of the 15th. A snow emergency was declared in the county. State police responded to nine accidents between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. EST. Most were minor, but one person required hospitalization after he lost control of his vehicle on U.S. Route 40 near Perryville. The heaviest accumulations occurred in the northern part of the county and reached 6 inches in Conowingo. Accumulations south of the canal were generally an inch or less. The low pressure system developed along the Gulf Coast States the morning of the 13th. During the morning of the 14th it had moved into Alabama and was located just east of the Delmarva Peninsula around daybreak of the 15th. The storm intensified and moved rapidly offshore on the 15th and reached Nova Scotia the morning of the 16th. |
