A winter storm that featured mixed precipitation affected the Maryland Eastern Shore on the 25th. Snowfall accumulations averaged 2 to 5 inches with up to around one quarter of an inch of ice accruing on exposed surfaces in Cecil County. Precipitation began around Noon EST. It started as snow in the northern part of the Eastern Shore. In the southern part of the Eastern Shore precipitation started as rain, but changed quickly to snow. The snow fell heavy at times later that afternoon, particularly in Caroline, Queen Anne's and Kent Counties. Enough warm air came in aloft for precipitation to change to sleet and freezing rain late in the afternoon and early in the evening from south to north. Precipitation then changed to plain rain during by the early evening in Talbot and Caroline Counties, but close to Midnight EST on the 26th in Cecil County. The rain ended well before sunrise on the 26th.
Untreated roads and walkways were hazardous. The snow did accumulate on road surfaces as the weather had remained unseasonably cold. Cecil County reported the most accidents as the State Police responded to 26 mainly minor ones.
Snowfall accumulations included 4.5 inches in Henderson (Caroline County), 4.0 inches in Rock Hall (Kent County), 3.9 inches in Stevensville (Queen Anne's County), 3.0 inches in St Michaels (Talbot County) and at the Conowingo Dam (Cecil County) and 2.0 inches in Elkton (Cecil County) and Cordova (Talbot County).
The low pressure system that caused the winter storm moved northeast from the foothills of the central Rockies on the morning of the 24th. At 7 p.m. EST on the 24th it reached Kansas City, Kansas City and then northeastern Iowa at 7 a.m. EST on the 25th. A secondary low pressure system started forming on the primary low's warm front in South Carolina during the early afternoon of the 25th. At 7 p.m. EST the secondary low was near Raleigh, North Carolina, while the primary low pressure system was weakening near Chicago, Illinois. At 1 a.m. EST on the 26th, the secondary low pressure system was just east of the Delaware coast and at 7 a.m. EST that morning was already well southeast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. While warm air continued to move in aloft because of the circulation associated with the primary low pressure system, the formation and deepening of the secondary low pressure system slowed the advancement of warmer air near the surface and prolonged the duration of sleet and freezing rain well inland.
