[K3PZN-List] Winter Storm Watch

[n3sb at qis.net]

Folks - the note below is from the Carroll County Office of Public Safety
Support Services.

The snow doesn't sound to bad, but the combination of ice and winds is not a
good mix.

ARES/RACES members should review their pre-activation checklists at this time.

WINTER STORM WATCH

December 15-16, 2007

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for Central
Maryland which is in effect from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.

The Mid-Atlantic region has the potential to receive significant wintry
precipitation Saturday through Sunday including some areas receiving 1”-2” snow
and sleet accumulation with a ¼” or more of ice or glazing.

On Sunday, the winds are expected to be 15-25 mph with 40 mph gusts. This may
cause problems with trees, wires, and limbs due to ice.

A winter storm watch means there is the potential for significant snow/sleet/ice
accumulations that may impact travel. Please continue to monitor the latest
forecasts.
