WEATHER BLOG: Winter Is Here

If you have been asking where winter is… you won't be asking that question for the rest of the week. Like it or not, a full dose of winter is moving in this week bringing everything from snow to frigid temperatures! We'll start with the snow. A clipper system will be moving through Tuesday bringing a quick blast of snow to the region. Winter weather advisories have been issued for much of the region and will be in effect through Tuesday afternoon. Generally, 1-2" of snow can be expected with locally higher amounts up to around 3" north and west of Baltimore. It's not necessarily the amount of snow that is a concern, it is more the timing. The timing is such that much of the snowfall will occur Tuesday during the morning rush. Go ahead and prepare now… give yourself extra time on the roads Tuesday morning as there will likely be slick spots. Behind this clipper and VERY cold air. Many areas will drop into the single digits Wednesday night into Thursday morning with wind chills near or below zero.
