Low pressure moved from the mid Mississippi Valley into the southern portion of the Mid Atlantic region on the 22nd.  This system produced mainly light to moderate snowfall across the region between 9 AM and 10 PM.  However, some areas received a brief period of heavy snow at the beginning of the event.  Snowfall amounts ranged from 3 to 7 inches.  The highest amounts were recorded across Harford and Northern Baltimore Counties.  The largest impact on the region from this storm system was on travel.  Numerous accidents were reported as roads became slippery and some areas experienced brief whiteout conditions.  In Prince George's County, 210 accidents involving minor injuries were reported between 11 AM and 2 PM.  Among them was a 38 car pileup at the intersection of Branch Avenue and the beltway and a 15 car pileup at the intersection of Central Avenue and the beltway.  Police reported 18 injuries with the first accident and 10 minor and 3 serious injuries with the second.  In Calvert County, a school bus slid into a car and 30 children were taken to the hospital.  In Anne Arundel County, 15 cars and a school bus collided on Route 50 near the South River.  Six people were injured and the highway was shut down for three hours.  Near Jacobsville, a pickup truck slid off a bridge on Fort Smallwood Road and landed in frigid Rock Creek.  The two occupants were rescued from the hood of their vehicle and one was treated for minor injuries and mild hypothermia.  On the southbound side of Interstate 95 north of Baltimore, a 40 vehicle pileup was reported at 12:20 PM.  In Harford County, Interstate 95 was closed around 2:30 PM north of the White Marsh exit due to several accidents along the highway.  Portions of Route 1 were also closed by accidents.
