Western Maryland sees the first snow of the season
The first snow of the season touched down in the state on Sunday morning, leaving a dusting across Wisp Resort and other parts of Garrett County in Western Maryland. There was less than an inch of snow in parts of the county, though high mountain ridges in the area saw between 2 and 4 inches, said Shannon Hefferan, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s office in Pittsburgh, which covers Garrett. Temperatures in the area had dropped below freezing overnight, and remained there in the county into the morning hours, when the snow fell. Dan Hoffman, a meteorologist in the NWS office that watches the rest of Maryland, said a fraction of an inch fell in Frostburg, where temperatures were significantly warmer. “To my recollection, this is a touch late for first snow up that way, but of course it varies from year to year,” Hoffman said. Hefferan said the snow was the result of a blustery cold front that collected moisture off Lake Erie before sweeping down into Western Maryland.
