Winter Weather — Central and Eastern Allegany, Maryland

2022-11-15 · Central and Eastern Allegany, Maryland

Wider weather episode

Low pressure passed by to our west while another low passed by to our east on the 15th of November. High pressure remained to the north and this allowed for a layer of cold air to hang around, causing a wintry mix over the higher elevations.

Snowfall accumulations were around 1 to 3 inches across Garrett County into western Allegany County near and east of Keysers Ridge, with localized amounts around 4 inches around the Garrett/Allegany County line near and north of Interstate 68.

Freezing rain led to ice accumulation over the higher elevations generally above 1,000 feet in elevation. Ice amounts ranged from a trace to around one tenth of an inch.
