” Yes! It’s a leucistic red-tailed hawk. Really cool! There have been generations of birds there with that gene – since, at least, the early 90s. Leucistic is a partial loss of pigmentation. It’s not the same as albinism. ” ~ Kevin Dodge
Cloudy, afternoon precip pushing in. Varied across the area from wet flake, sleet pellet but mostly light freezing rain and rain depending on location. ..

Rain to snow last night. On and off light snow, windy today. Another upslope underperformer. Lame duck event. Garrett County schools oddly dismissed 2 hours early for weather and totally uncalled for.
“Yesterday’s rain showers ended before nightfall in advance of a cold front that passed last evening. Winds and colder temperatures overnight kicked off the start of the mountain snow machine shortly before daybreak. Very light to light snow all day, accumulating to just an inch of new snow by evening.”~Dave Lesher
