We have to use the s-word…SNOW.

Yes, for Saturday. Parts of Maryland could see up to 3 inches or more. WBAL’s Tony Pann said the ground is too warm for it to cover the roads, but grassy areas could see an inch in the city and surrounding vicinity.

A winter storm watch is posted for up to 5 inches for northern Baltimore County and nearby northern counties.
