Winter storm warning issued for parts of western Maryland, northeast West Virginia, where up to 6 inches had fallen.
Snowfall amounts were heavily elevation dependent. In valley locations, snow stuck mainly to grassy areas. But accumulation increased with altitude and road conditions deteriorated.Near Frostburg, Md.: 6 inchesInwood, W. Va.: 2.5 inchesBig Meadows, Va.: 1 inchSnow was predicted to continue where it was falling into Monday evening, before tapering off at night.
The storm responsible for the snow in the interior Mid-Atlantic was expected to intensify Monday night as it moved up the coastline. Four to 8 inches of snow, and locally up to a foot in the high terrain, was forecast from the Poconos of Pennsylvania into central New York state.The snowy weather, with temperatures 20 to 25 degrees below normal, came sandwiched between spurts of summery weather. Late last week, the same areas seeing snow experienced 80-degree warmth.
Snow is not uncommon in late April in the high terrain of western Maryland and northeast West Virginia, particularly above 3,000 feet. But the snow seen at elevations below 1,000 feet in the Shenandoah Valley and portions of west central Maryland was more unusual at this time of year.Now I’m just plain mad. There’s SNOW on my daffodils in northern Frederick County. Really??????
