Monday January 3 2022
At 6 AM, the snow has begun and all seems to be on schedule. If anything, perhaps a little ahead of pace with snow already sticking on the ground with temps still above freezing. Temps will fall and snow will increase over the next few hours.
Here is quick first look around the region.

Doppler Radar
The north edge of the snow appears to be through Frederick and Westminster. Steady snow falling and starting to stick east and south of that line.
This will expand a little more north for a few hours, then hold steady.
Southern MD starting as rain was expected, will change to snow during the day.
The north wind will increase and temps will continue to fall as snow intensifies. Most of central Maryland will drop below freezing this morning, allowing for more stickage.
This circulation is impressive! Low Pressure is wrapping through South Carolina and highly wrapped up!
HRRR Model 7 AM to 4 PM
Notice the sharp cut off to the north… Close to Westminster. Heavy snow will continue near Baltimore, including Annapolis, and eventually a total change over for southern Maryland and Delmarva.
Heaviest snow will be 9 AM to 2 PM in central MD
7 AM Mon to 7 AM Tue
Falling snow will drop temps between 28ºF and 30ºF for most.
Reminder that wind chills will drop into the teens with gusts between 25 and 35 mph
Reminder: My Final Call For Snowfall
Issued Sunday night
Wet snow this morning, will become more ‘fluffy’ as temps get colder later this morning.
Looking Ahead: Thursday – Friday
It appears another winter weather event is likely to hit by Friday morning.
This shows a track over our region with a snow/mix. Once again we need to be cautious of model errors… But the pattern does support an event.
Track and totals way too early to show.
