Monday Morning Update
We are about to turn the corner and swing the pendulum to the other extreme. After a week of bitter cold, two snow events, and nearly half of the normal season’s worth of snowfall, temps will warm up. With that will come another storm midweek that will bring rain. Then a surge of very warm air to end the week, which personally will help me in my SuperPlunge for Maryland Special Olympics. So I am invested in this.
Then we have the AFC Championship Game on Sunday afternoon. The Ravens will host the Kansas City Chiefs starting at 3 PM. It looks like a chilly rain at this point. Let’s take a look.
Live Snowcam At Deep Creek Lake
Just for fun, here’s the Live Look In Western Maryland. There is about 2 Ft of snow on the ground in Garrett County.
This webcam is positioned at The Greene Turtle Deep Creek Lake and shows Wisp Resort, including a zoomed-in view of Squirrel Cage, The Face, the terrain park, Boulder, the mountain coaster, the tubing park and a shot of McHenry Cove at Deep Creek Lake!
Morning Temperatures
Morning Surface Weather
The frigid air is still in place!
An ice storm is developing across the middle of the nation. Low Pressure in Texas will be moving up to the Northeast and bringing warmer air our way with that track. That is why we expect rain to develop here for a few days.
Afternoon Wind Forecast
Not much warming today, but a shift from the south will help to start modifying temps over the next few days.

NEXT STORM
Storm Forecast: Wednesday Morning to Friday
The bulk of the rain appears to be on Thursday. By Friday, the storm will move out AND might leave us with a breezy and warmer day. I have tried to underplay this, but it looks more likely that we will push into the 60s.
Storm Snapshot Thursday
The next storm will last over a few days. The steady bulk of rain will fall on Thursday. We could be looking at over 1 inch.
Special Olympics Super Plunge
This Friday, I will be doing 24 plunges in 24 hours at Sandy Point Park.
We will have an afternoon in the 60s, but the Chesapeake Bay water is down into the 30s. I hope you will consider supporting my efforts to reach this lofty goal!
This is my new friend Daniele, A Special Olympics Athlete and my inspiration!

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 also can 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 when I need it and 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
