Roads may get slick as temperatures drop
Relatively mild temperatures, coupled with salting, have helped many roads stay snow-free through much of the day. That may soon change. The National Weather Service is warning that falling temperatures this evening may allow more snow to accumulate on the roads, making things slippery. Sidewalks and steps, too, I would guess.
Here's the word for the Baltimore metro area:
...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EST FRIDAY...
SNOW WILL CONTINUE THRU THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING BEFORE
TAPERING TO FLURRIES. AN ADDITIONAL FOUR INCHES OF ACCUMULATION IS
POSSIBLE AFTER 2 PM...FOR A STORM TOTAL OF 4 TO 8 INCHES ON UNPAVED
SURFACES.
TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY DROP THIS EVENING. THAT WILL ALLOW FOR SOME
ROAD ACCUMULATION TO DEVELOP. ROADS WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS.
And here are the latest accumulation numbers for the region.

Tess: Thanks for reading the Weather Blog, but as you can see, it is not staffed around the clock. In the future, if you need to find out whether schools have been closed by bad weather, you can look at the top of MarylandWeather.com's main page for a link to "Closings, cancellations ... " That should tell you what you need to know. Enjoy your day off!
