With one underperforming snow system having come and gone, a new winter storm watch is in effect for areas northwest of Baltimore for freezing rain Tuesday night into Wednesday.

The storm watch is in effect for northern Baltimore County and Carroll County from Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon. More than a quarter of an inch of ice accumulation is possible.

Several inches of snow fell across parts of Carroll County and northern Baltimore and Harford counties Monday morning, but mostly rain and some ice were all that was observed closer to Baltimore and the Interstate 95 corridor.

Early snow totals included 2 inches in Norrisville in northern Harford, 1.2 inches in Westminster and 4 inches in Taneytown in Carroll, and 0.3 inches in Hunt Valley.

But while rain was expected to transition to snow by late morning in Baltimore, temperatures remained in the mid- to upper-30s, keeping most precipitation in liquid form.
