Upgrade to Winter Storm Warning

Monday, Jan 15, 11PM

Not only did we get the upgrade to a Winter Storm Warning, but it’s official! It’s taken nearly two years but BWI reported it’s first one inch snow of the year making Snowflake66 the winner in this year’s Snow Contest! She had today’s date and a time of 4PM, and the National Weather Service confirmed the first inch in their 7PM report so after two long years we finally have a winner. Congratulations!! 

For the rest of the night, snow will pick up in intensity for the next several hours bringing another 3-4″ to most areas in central MD for a total of 4-6″ for most of the area, but some higher amounts are possible north of Baltimore. Still some uncertainty regarding how things will play out in the morning, but short term models are suggesting that a developing coastal low may prolong precipitation in the area well into the morning. I’m skeptical, but regardless, this has turned out to be a terrific event so I’m taking advantage and heading back outside for a little whiskey walk. Hopefully we get to do this all over again on Friday.
