Wet snow should taper off by 5 p.m.
Never mind what they said yesterday. The snow the weather service forecast for Southern Maryland, that was supposed to stay to our south today, has headed this way after all. They reported light snow at both Washington airports at 2 p.m. It started in downtown Baltimore around 3 p.m., and is snowing hard at 3:35 p.m. Here's the advisory:
...MODERATE TO HEAVY WET SNOW TO AFFECT THE AFTERNOON COMMUTE...
MODERATE TO HEAVY WET SNOW WILL AFFECT THE WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE
METRO AREAS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON WITH VISIBILITIES AS
LOW AS QUARTER OF MILE POSSIBLE. AN INCH OF SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED ON
GRASSY AREAS WITH A COATING POSSIBLE ON ROADWAYS. MOTORISTS ARE URGED
TO EXERCISE CAUTION ON OVERPASSES AND BRIDGES WHICH COULD BECOME
SLICK. SNOW WILL TAPER OFF BY 5 PM.
