Tuesday January 16 2018

A band of light snow moved through northern Maryland and southern PA this morning. The light coating between Westminster and York seemed to pale in comparison to the light snow and freezing mist and fog in Harford County MD. Not all has been showing up on radar, making it difficult to track. Numerous accidents have been reported… and a 2 Hour school delay was issued there. This is NOT the main event. The Winter Weather Advisory is still in effect tonight and tomorrow morning for light snow that will impact driving. The arrival now appears to be later tonight and lasting into Wednesday morning. More on the timing and snowfall potential below.
