Auth. MSP the Snow Emergency Plan is in effect at 0200hrs for Carroll County


The Maryland State Police put the Maryland snow emergency plan in effect for Carroll County MD at 2 a.m.

The Maryland Department of Transportation announced that the Maryland State Police put the Maryland snow emergency plan in effect at 2 a.m. Saturday morning for Carroll County.

Previously the snow emergency plan went into effect the previous Friday evening for much of Western Maryland counties: at 11 p.m. for Allegany County; 10:30 p.m. for Garrett County and 11:30 p.m. for Washington County.

According to the department of transportation, the state police declare snow emergencies after receiving input from the Maryland State Highway Administration.

Once the snow emergency has been declared, parking is prohibited on streets and roads that are designated as snow emergency routes and the snow tires, all weather tires and or chains are required for vehicles traveling on the roadways.

When checked at 2:45 a.m., the National Weather Service forecast for Westminster and Carroll County had a “winter weather advisory posted.” “Snow before 4 am, then snow, freezing rain, and sleet. Low around 26. East wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch possible. Total nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.”

For Saturday night the weather service was forecasting mostly cloudy skies. But most importantly for Ravens fans, the Sunday forecast says, “A slight chance of rain, freezing rain, and sleet after noon. Increasing clouds, with a high near 33. East wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.” And later Sunday night, Rain likely, possibly mixed with freezing rain, becoming all rain after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 32. East wind between 3 and 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.”

Carroll County MD Public Schools to close one-hour early today shar.es/XFTJo

Carroll County Public Schools to close one-hour early today

By Kevin Dayhoff  shar.es/XFTJo 

Posted 1/11/11 Kevin Dayhoff Explore Carroll: Carroll County Public Schools to close one-hour early today http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5065/carroll-county-public-schools-close-one-hour-early-today/

Carroll County Public Schools announced at 10:20 this morning that it will close Carroll County schools one-hour early today.  All afternoon and evening activities are canceled and there will be no afternoon Pre-K because of expected inclement weather later this afternoon in the Carroll County area.

Various weather reports indicate that the Carroll County area could possibly see an accumulation of three to five inches beginning jst around the time folks will start heading home from work.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a “Winter Weather Advisory” for the Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Baltimore County area.  According to the NWS, “Low pressure off the Carolina coast will strengthen and quickly move northward up the Eastern Seaboard.  The wintry mix of precipitation associated with this storm will continue to progress northward along the East Coast…”

According to weatherbug.com, later this evening two major storm systems will combine “to form a classic coastal storm” along the east coast.  “An area of low pressure, the same one responsible for heavy snow and freezing rain across the Southeast, has pushed off the Georgia coast, and is starting to march northeastward toward the North Carolina Outer Banks.  Meanwhile, a second area of low pressure is chugging eastward through the Ohio Valley, bringing along another plume of snow from the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the Midwest.”

Frank Roylance, who writes about “Maryland Weather” in the Baltimore Sun notes, “NWS forecasters expect temperatures to hold in the lower 30s, so the event is likely to remain all-snow…. 

“Central and Southern Maryland should expect 3 to 5 inches of snow tonight, with the heaviest amounts close to the Chesapeake Bay, falling off to the west and south.”

Emergencyemail.org reports that a winter storm watch now in effect from Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night with the potential for five or more inches of snow.

The snow is predicted to develop during the late afternoon or early evening on Tuesday and continue through Tuesday night with temperatures in the lower 30s and dip to the 20s Tuesday night and northwest winds five to 10 mph increasing to 10 to 15 mph later in the evening.

A winter storm watch, according to emergencyemail.com, means “there is a potential for significant snow accumulations that may impact travel.”

The weather predictions of snow in the Carroll County area come on the heels of last Saturday morning’s light dusting of snow that triggered the snow emergency plan for the Carroll County area for several hours in the morning, but for the most part, only amounted to being a nuisance.

According to a Westminster street department employee, the road crews for Westminster city reported for work around 4 a.m. and easily got the light dusting under control.

At approximately 9 o’clock Saturday morning, the main roads at the intersection of Liberty and Main Street at the railroad tracks made for a picturesque winter-in-Westminster scene, but otherwise, the streets were in good shape for driving.

Welcome to Maryland weather. It was only a week ago when we were toughing it out under almost two feet of snow.

All last week, news accounts trickled-in from throughout the state of various local governments having a tough time clearing the snow for Christmas week.

Not so in Westminster. On Sunday, December 20, 2009, Uniontown Road in Westminster was already a bare road less than 12 hours after the snow stopped; thanks to the great work of the Westminster MD Street Department.

And our front sidewalk has been cleared thanks to our new neighbors across the street.

Yes, we have every older person’s dream come true – a nice very young couple has moved-in just across the street.

In a phone interview with Larry Bloom, the Westminster street department superintendent at 6:45 pm, he said that the Westminster crews started working on clearing the city streets at 11:30 pm the night before.

Even Jeff Glass, the city of Westminster public works director is out plowing. He asked that city residents please stay off the streets as much as possible to give the crews some time to get the streets cleared.

Although I did eventually venture out in the snow to go to the festival of Wreaths at the Carroll County Arts Center and had dinner with sister and her husband, Grammy, Mrs. Owl; this was my predominant view of today’s snowfall, from inside the house looking out.

Although I really enjoy photographing snow; I don’t understand snow. I don’t do snow.
