Morning Report
There was a Winter Weather Advisory issued last night for the expectation of freezing drizzle. The short-range models supported that with slightly warmer air aloft.
What occurred was more light snow and a fresh coating around metro Baltimore and Northeast Maryland.
Pockets of icing with freezing rain did occur around the Chesapeake Bay up I-95 to New Jersey.
This was tough to analyze, but I got a lot of corroborating reports with my early morning post, even photos to validate the snow coating.
The light snow and freezing rain mix affected Central Maryland and across the Bay to Delmarva. Also up to Northeast Maryland and Metro Philadelphia to New Jersey and New York
It might be slick this morning.
This was intended for Freezing Drizzle, but there was more light snow, and a coating did lay and stay on the ground.
I want to show you the area alerted and the area that may have similar conditions that were not included.
This pocket of light snow and freezing rain that developed overnight was confined to Central Maryland across Delmarva and up I-95 to include metro Philadelphia to New York.
The light precipitation will be ending over the next few hours.
There are some breaks in the cloud cover that will try to expand east during the day. Better chance tonight to clear out.
I will have the final report later this morning. Full analysis is at 8 AM daily.

The advertised Polar Vortex will be sending more lobes of arctic air our way. The first will arrive on Monday, then again later in the week, which may be the coldest so far.
There will be a few clippers passing to our north. This will help some mild air fill in during the week, then possibly bring in a track farther south that could bring us a chance for light snow on Friday.

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
