*SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT #1*

*February 12, 2007*

The National Weather Service has issued a *winter storm watch* statement for
today through February 14, 2007 for the Maryland area.

Snow will enter Carroll County this evening after midnight with 1" or less
accumulation. Winds will be between 3 to 10 miles per hour. Warmer
temperatures Tuesday will change snow over to sleet and freezing rain. Ice
may accumulate from ¼ "to less than 1 "before ending. New snow accumulation
may be 1". Tuesday evening will produce periods of freezing rain with a low
temperature of 20.

Snow and sleet will be ending Wednesday around noon. Blustery conditions
will move in with winds from 15-25 MPH and higher gusts.

The accumulating ice may cause downed power lines and power outages.

The Office of Public Safety Support Services is monitoring the situation and
will attend a weather conference call tomorrow, February 13, at 11 AM with
the Maryland Emergency Management Agency and the National Weather Service.
Further updates will be issued as necessary.
