Nope. That was on there yesterday. In fact I was discussing it with co-workers. All they did was change the date and reposted it.

And when NWS slaps a new time on the next one, there'll probably be yet another one even if it says the same thing.

That's my point. Makes it sound like it will snow for a week.

Yes, possibly Wednesday and/or Thursday.

From what I am hearing, it sounds like Southern Calvert and St. Mary's may see a mostly rain event.
