Wider weather episode

A very strong cold front passed through the area during the early morning hours of the 12th. Arctic air behind the boundary combined with low pressure and an upper-level disturbance to bring a period of snow during the morning and midday hours of the 12th. Snow showers persisted later in the afternoon and evening, with most of the additional accumulation being along and west of the Allegheny Front.

Snowfall amounts totaled from around 1 to 3 inches near Interstate 95, with 3 to 6 inches across northern and central Maryland, and 6 to 10 inches along and west of the Allegheny Front. There was a little less snow on the lee side of the Allegheny Front in Allegany County due to downsloping winds. Snowfall amounts across this area ranged from 1 to 3 inches.
