Tuesday Evening Update
Today brought us a lot of media to document the approaching storm and for some in our region, a taste of winter. The snow and sleet were more pronounced in the higher elevations of Maryland and Pennsylvania, but some icy mix reports did include metro Baltimore.
I love days like this both for the actual weather, but also being able to share the weather from other people and put an extra smile on some faces.
For starters, here is the snow and stickage around 4 PM in Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland. They had a wintry mix all day, now back to snow. Thanks to Kristin Skeweris for this look.
Let’s back up to how this day got started.
Let’s back up to this morning’s sunrise near Annapolis, MD and this vivid sky captured by David Sites. Here was my post on Facebook:
For what it’s worth I think he was more excited to see my Tweet get Re-Tweeted by Jim Cantore. This great capture was seen by even more on Instagram!

Temps were in the 20s around Deep Creek Lake where a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain fell. Turn up the volume and you will hear it.
Here is a look at the Afternoon Radar showing the mix of snow (blue), sleet (pink), and rain (green).
This is computer analyzed and it has been having trouble depicting. The pink shade… icy mix has been expanding into south central Pennsylvania. Adams and York Counties (Gettysburg to York) expecting to be on the edge for a few hours.
This location is highlighted on that radar loop, under the banner.
Meteorologist Howard Bernstein shared his early taste of winter.

This system has grown a little more impressive than the models suggested. The track is also a little farther east. I am marking this in my Atmospheric Memory file for winter.
Last 2 Hours (this will update with each page refresh)
The freezing line may get closer to Westminster and York.
Turning to rain with slightly warmer air moving in from the south.
