to rain later today but by $50
am, the precipitation changed
into snow. The forecaster, con-
Tossing he had been mouse
trapped by a fast-moving wave
of Arctic air from the west,
then changed his prediction to
a heavy snow warning.
More than 2 inches of snow
is expected to accumulate in
the Washington area before
turning to rain, the forecaster
said in his amended outlook.
More snow or rain was pre-
dicted for tonight, ending to-
morrow.

standing by to join the effort
to keep streets clear If needed.
Snow Plan in Effect
Maryland State police at 10
am. ordered their snow emer-
gency plan into effect in
Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry Counties. Motorists who
stall on designated snow routes
without chains or snow tire
will be subject to arrest.

The forecaster said the sit

The original prognostication
was that a moist front from the

reached here. However, the
Arctic air came seeping over
the mountains and the sleet-
freezing rain turned into a

The temperature lowered

rain and snow for the Nations
