Yesterday was warmer and sunny but it seems that we are in for some challenging weather today. The Snow Emergency Plan is in effect.
This morning will be freezing rain changing to snow at about 1pm; high near 30 and low of 23. We are expecting 1-3 inches of snow during the day today with an additional 3-5 inches expected tonight.
A little humor for the day:

And, speaking of Easter Egg hunts, and to hopefully totally EGGcede your expectations (and be inclusive), Sarah has posted a comprehensive list of all the local Easter Egg hunts on our events page and Facebook page.

21 year old Megan Shaffer has been found guilty of Second Degree Murder in the death of 24 year old Alexander Stevens. Garrett County Circuit Court Judge Ray Strubin revoked bond after the jury verdict, and Shaffer will be sentenced at a later date. It was in January 2017 when Stevens was found naked with a slashed throat in Savage River State Forest below High Rock and near Pine Swamp Road.
Happy National Agriculture day!
