Winter Weather in Northwest Harford, Maryland

An accident occurred near the intersection of Route 23 and High Point Rd in Forest Hill. The accident was a result of a head-on collision of two cars, resulting in one fatality and three injuries. One of the cars hit a patch of black ice, causing it to cross the median and collide with the on coming car.

Around a trace of ice was reported.

Areas of freezing rain, resulting in hazardous road conditions, occurred the morning of the 18th. High pressure over the northeast slowly retreated ahead of an approaching low pressure system, keeping northeast flow over the Mid-Atlantic for a good portion of the night on the 17th and allowing for surface temperatures to drop into the 20s. As the high moved offshore, warm air advection with an increasing low level jet overrode the colder air at the surface, producing light rain along the I-95 corridor, with pockets of freezing rain especially along bridges and overpasses.
