There WAS snow in MD

Those forecasters weren't ALL wrong. There really were flakes in the air yesterday. BWI-Marshall officially recorded a "trace." Annapolis saw some flakes in the air. So did DC. And I saw a few in my headlights driving from Catonsville to Cockeysville at around 9 p.m. last night.

None of that amounted to anything. But the National Weather Service has posted this accounting of the accumulation to our west. And now they're saying we could see more on Friday. Or not. Here's the latest forecast. The forecast continues cool for the season. And dry. Yesterday's fire weather watch has been lifted, but forecasters are watching the humidity and winds, and say they may have to re-issue Red Flag warnings later today. Eight acres burned yesterday near Rocks State Park in Harford County, the work of a careless smoker. Stay tuned.
