Snow ends on Lower Shore

The dusting of snow we were forecast to see overnight stayed well to the south of Baltimore. But the Lower Eastern Shore saw enough to whiten the beach at Ocean City and to close schools in Dorchester County for the day.

Here's the view from Phillips Beach Plaza Hotel this morning. Observers at Salisbury-Wicomico County Regional Airport reported light snow between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.  WeatherBug - Phillips Beach Plaza Hotel

The snow curling around onto the back side of the cold front has now departed, moving out to sea, and high pressure is building into the region. That means sunny skies today and much of tomorrow, but with more seasonable temperatures today, warming into the 50s tomorrow (Friday).

Late tomorrow, another cold front will push through, dropping temperatures on Saturday. The high will stick in the 30s, with an overnight low in the mid-20s early Sunday.

Then clouds move in again, with rain likely by Sunday night. Presidents Day will likely see showers, too, with a high warming back into the 40s until yet another cold front drops things back into the 30s for Tuesday and Wednesday.
