Heavy snow warning issued
The National Weather Service has refined its snow forecast for tomorrow, issuing a "Heavy Snow Warning" for the Baltimore area, including Harford, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery and Prince Georges counties, and Southern Maryland. Those areas, they say, can expect 4 to 8 inches of snow, with as much as 10 inches falling in some spots.
To the north and west, in Carroll, Frederick and Washington counties, the weather service has downgraded the Winter Storm Watch (which implies 4 inches or more is on the way) to a "Snow Advisory." They can still expect 3 to 5 inches.
The warnings and advisories extend from 6 a.m. tomorrow to 6 a.m. Sunday, after which the storm should pull away to the Northeast and pummel New England.
AccuWeather expects the storm to be slow to develop, so that New England may get the worst of it.

It's just another snow storm. Remember 11 February 1983, about two feet of the white stuff fell in Baltimore. I was living in Virginia at the time, in Front Royal we had over 30 inches of snow that Thursday into Friday night.

I was at the University Of Maryland in 1983. The snow was so bad you couldn't even leave your dorm. I lived In Fredrick Hall my girl friend lived in the Towers on the other side of campus. The wind blew 40 miles per hour. The total acumulation was 26 inches. We have been married now 21 years. But we live in Santa Monica, CA where the temp is 80 degrees. Sorry for everyone involved. But do what we did, go to Key West on Spring Break in March. Craig and Jean McCoy
