MD Snow Totals From Sunday's Storm Lower Than Projected

MARYLAND — After initially predicting up to 6 inches of snow across much of the state, the National Weather Service revised its projections for Maryland Sunday morning. The National Weather Service attributed the change to temperatures and rain.

PREVIOUS REPORT — After initially predicting up to 6 inches of snow across much of the state, the National Weather Service revised its projections for Maryland Sunday morning.

The National Weather Service attributed the change to two factors.

"Snow totals have been lowered due [to] more marginal surface temperatures and rain this morning," the National Weather Service reported after 5 a.m.

Temperatures are about 34 degrees in Annapolis, Baltimore and Bel Air as of 10:30 a.m.

Drivers across the state should anticipate slippery conditions and limited visibility and watch their steps outside.

A winter storm warning remains in effect for northern Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Frederick and Harford counties calling for up to 1 inch of additional accumulation between 11 a.m. and noon for a total of 3 to 6 inches of snow.

A winter weather advisory replaces the warning that had been issued for Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Charles, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George's counties calling for 1 to 3 inches of additional snowfall between 8:30 a.m. and noon.

After temperatures rise to nearly 40 degrees in the afternoon, forecasters say they will plummet below freezing into the teens overnight.

Troopers responded to "minimal" calls during the snowstorm, according to Maryland State Police, which reported they handled 109 calls for service statewide, 16 crashes and five disabled vehicles from 5 to 9 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 7.

"As conditions change, remember to reduce speed, keep headlights on and increase following distance," police said.
