I guess I knew it was a possibility. But in this winter of snow scarcity, I was surprised to see a white dusting on the WeatherDeck this morning. That fell between 1 and 3 a.m. Frostburg got more than 3 inches. Here are some other snow reports.

More nasty weather is headed our way as the disturbance redevelops this afternoon and moves across Virginia. So if you can, get to the polls early.

Temperatures seem stuck in the mid-20s at this writing, so any precipitation that comes along this afternoon could fall as more snow or sleet or freezing rain. Here's the radar loop.  And here's how AccuWeather.com sees the precip types.

Bridges and overpasses could get a glaze of ice in the more northern and western counties. A Winter Weather Advisory has been posted for that region. Road crews have been busy heaping salt on everything this morning, so the roads should be safe.

Forecasters are having a difficult time with this one. Computer models disagree on the amount of moisture arriving with this system, and when the wintry mix will switch over to all rain. The folks at Sterling seem to be going with the models that predict we'll have all rain by this evening as more warm air moves in and shoves aside the lingering arctic air at the surface.

Wednesday looks like more precipitation - all rain this time, and mostly in the morning hours. We could see up to a half inch as the storm taps into Gulf moisture. Then another cold front will move through, drying us out for Thursday and part of Friday, when rain chances rise again. Saturday looks better, but more rain/snow risk returns Sunday and Sunday night.
