The morning consisted of a sunny start west, a foggy, dreary start east. That gave way to some brief sun, but cloud cover rapidly took over with rain pushing in by evening.

That old familiar line. The typical fog line and also it’s the setup of the typical zone freezing rain holds on the longest in the winter…

To start, this is the setup the parameters off the 3km Nam excels at, and once again it did superb…

modeled midday temps
did well on fog areas as well

Midday temps looked like

The fog zone through the morning

A hop west

And further west

Morgantown

That lead to the wide temp spread that eastern Garrett at Savage Mt was low 40s while Morgantown was mid 70s

Midday that fog line was evident from Satellite

Looking east from Roman Nose at 3000′ in Garrett County the line was very visible. The same area that often holds the cold during ice events
