There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the morning commute. A period of light snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 percent chance) Wednesday morning across the Baltimore / Washington metro areas as well as northeast and southern Maryland, with a light coating of snow accumulation possible on area roads. If this threat does materialize during the morning rush-hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays. If commuting this morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of significant travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework options. Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

Cameras and observations indicate that light snow has begun to fall in the Cambridge, Maryland area. In addition, light snow is possible across the Virginia Northern Neck and remainder of the Lower Maryland Eastern Shore through 8 AM this morning. Given temperatures in the 20s, the snow will stick to area roadways immediately despite accumulations no more than a couple tenths of an inch expected. Motorists will need to be alert to the possibility of slick spots. Motorists should exercise caution while driving...especially on bridges and overpasses. Allow for extra time to reach your destination and avoid sudden stops or accelerations.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
