December 14 Preliminary Snow Reports As It Will Be Ending And We Trade For Bitter Cold Winds

Sunday Morning, December 14

At first glance, this forecast worked out well. The snow did gradually develop from north to south overnight and early this morning. While some southern areas had wet pavement, thundersnow was observed at BWI between 4 and 5 AM. This burst helped to overtake the warmer ground.

Snow is still falling across Central Maryland and will be ending from North to South. Then we trade off to bitterly cold winds, making it feel like close to zero all day.

In this report, I have the preliminary snow maps as of 6:30 AM and the live radar to track the progress.

Our forecast winds and temperatures will be the focus.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I can also make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
