Helping to keep Baltimore snow-free are above-normal temperatures: so far this month, we're nearly eight degrees above normal.
It's also been a wet month, but that precipitation has fallen as rain instead. As of Friday, Baltimore has seen just over 2.5 inches of rain for the month, nearly half an inch above average for the month.
Despite that, other parts of the state have seen snow. Thursday night, southern Maryland and parts of the Eastern Shore, including Ocean City, saw some light flurries.
With no snow in our current forecast , If we end this month snowless, it will be the first time in 150 years of record keeping that this has occurred! Amazing!! #WJZ
