First Flurries Of The Season Fall In Maryland: Weather Service

BALTIMORE, MD — It feels like snow is in the air. And according to the National Weather Service, it was for some parts of Maryland Friday morning.

Officials said that certain regions saw the "first snowflakes of the season," with scattered flurries falling in northeastern Maryland.

Those who replied to the National Weather Service on its social media accounts reported seeing flurries from more than just the northeast. People said they saw flakes before noon in Catonsville, Frederick, Parkville and Rockville.

Of course, areas in western Maryland, like Garrett County, already had reports of snow.

Others around the state, from College Park to Bel Air, also reported flurries.

National Weather Service meteorologist Cody Snell said there were flurries in College Park at 42 degrees, which "might be the highest temperature I’ve seen with snowflakes flying."

I really doubt you can see it on camera but it is snowing... well it’s more like flurries, so it’s technically the first “snow” of the year!
