Mid Day Report
The major winter storm has passed my The Mid Atlantic, leaving behind a wide range of snow depths. As the blizzard cranks for New England we all are in the cold winds. There is a lot of data to sort through, but I wanted to share some of the best snow photos I gathered this morning.
Before we get to them, here is a list of preliminary snow totals. The final official report will be out later today. I will share those with my formal storm recap and Grade My Forecast Poll.
For now, just the eye candy.
Preliminary Snow Reports
Some of these numbers are in locations that continued to get snow.
- Low End- Dusting to 2 inches: Metro Baltimore and Washington: I made the mistake of bumping this area into my 2” to 4” range in my updated call. My original call would have verified.
- 2” to 4” did verify in Anne Arundel County, with the higher amounts around Annapolis. Also in Cecil and Kent County in northern Delmarva.
- 3” to 6” in southern Maryland and between Queen Annes and Kent Counties
- 6” to 12”+ This was expected for much of Delmarva. The highest amount were closer to the beach

In No Particular Order… Actually there were so many good ones sent to me and I was not able to see them all yet.
