Though parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic had a gradual introduction to fall, winter will arrive without delay. Cold air and high snow amounts will define the season.
Farther south, ice storms and snow events will threaten the Tennessee Valley and parts of the southern Plains. Much of the South can prepare for a wet winter, with some severe weather encroaching on Florida.

262.5 inches have fallen this winter at Keysers Ridge
From Staff Reports
Associated Press
times news — OAKLAND (AP) — The snowiest part of Maryland has set a winter weather record.
More than 2 1/2 feet of snow fell in Garrett County last week, pushing the seasonal total into record territory.
The State Highway Administration said Monday that 262.5 inches have fallen this winter at its garage near Keyser’s Ridge. That tops the old record of 233.5 inches recorded in the winter of 2002-03.
In Oakland, National Weather Service observer Sherry Helbig reports a seasonal total of 210 inches, more than double the winter average of 95 inches.
SHA spokesman David Buck said the snowbanks along state Route 495 are about as high as road crews can pile the stuff using giant snowblowers. He said it’s a challenge the agency has never faced before.

You may have heard by now that we have set the new record for snowfall in Garrett County, Maryland this winter. Well, thanks to my friends at Team One (buy a vehicle from Steve Shaffer, he’s the man!), I got a copy of the official Garrett County snowfall history, dating back to 1939! It’s pretty neat to see how much total snow we’ve had each year. I believe this originated from the State Highway Administration. For the record, we are at 234.5 inches so far this year, which beat the previous record of 2003 by…1 inch.
I’m looking forward to 2 or 3 more snowstorms to CRUSH this record once and for all! Who is with me??
