Saturday December 27, 2025
The ice that developed late yesterday was in line with the forecast, though it did little to prevent the numerous car accidents that occurred. The good news is that the storm has ended, and some temps have thawed, but not all. The morning temperatures below will give insight into that, as near and north of the Pennsylvania line may remain icy until after sunrise.
This weekend will be mild with a chance to thaw, only to bring in rain later Sunday into Monday. A brief surge of warm air will be followed by a dramatic cool down later Monday.
Snow will return to the mountains, and a few flurries could reach us on Tuesday.
Then one more arctic blast is expected right as we enter the New Year.
The freezing line and leftover ice are within about 10 miles of the Pennsylvania border into PA.
Main roads should be OK. This is a concern for side roads, untreated driveways, and steps.
For those of us who got ice yesterday, you may be something like I have to scrape off, despite if temps thaw.
OR
Just wait an hour or two after sunrise for daylight to help.
Saturday Morning…
Even IF you have thawed, there may be
Ice to scrape off the vehicle.

Wind is still in full force in this region. A fresh coating to few inches of snow has blanketed the region.

This will be mostly cloudy with rain showers developing later in the afternoon and evening.
Rain showers will develop mid-afternoon through the evening. Pockets of freezing rain are expected across Northern Pennsylvania.
A strong cold front will keep most of the energy to our north. We will get some rain showers, but it does look less potent than before.
A surge of warm air may push the 60s into Central Maryland and Delmarva, while the 30s will be returning to the mountains. The cold air will push east to the coast later in the day.
Colder air will settle in with gusty winds and lake-enhanced mountain snow. Some flurries will have a chance to cross into our region during the day. No impact expected.
The first of two cold impulses during the week.
A cold start to 2026.

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
