* WHAT…Significant icing expected. Total snow and sleet
accumulations up to one inch and ice accumulations around two to
three tenths of an inch, with locally higher amounts possible on
eastern facing slopes.
* WHERE…Extreme Western Allegany and Garrett Counties.
* WHEN…From 8 AM Saturday to 1 AM EST Sunday.
* IMPACTS…Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
likely become slick and hazardous. Power outages and tree damage
are likely due to the ice. Travel could be nearly impossible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…A wintry mix will overspread the area
Saturday morning. It may initially start as a mix of snow and
sleet before giving way to freezing rain that persists through the
evening. The higher icing in Garrett County will likely be along
and east of Keyser’s Ridge to Swanton and points east. Given the
recent icing event, trees may be stressed with another icing event
resulting in the potential for more downed trees, power lines, and
power outages.
