Winter Weather Alerts Upgraded to Advisories and Warnings! System Shifting North! Accumulation Numbers Rising!

MID-AFTERNOON SNOW UPDATE ❄️:  Things are changing quickly with this (somewhat of a surprise 😯) system!  Enough for a mid-afternoon snow update! 😁  Potential impact appears to be shifting northward.  Along with this shift it also appears as though we could be seeing increased accumulation.  Most of central and southern MD are now under a winter storm warning, while northern MD is now under a winter weather advisory.  

Here is what things look like at the moment with this latest update.

​Northern points in MD won't be left out, but may be surprised to receive a bit less than the rest of the state.  A flip flop for what we typically see in our state.  I am waiting for just a bit more data to come in, but expect a MD SCHOOL STATUS SNOWBALL PREDICTION soon. 😄👍.  Perhaps there may be delays ... or possibly even a little extension to many winter breaks.

Stay tuned and #followingthesnowman ⛄️
