WASHINGTON – The first snow of the season arrived Monday in western Maryland, while parts of the Midwest and Northeast dealt with heavier lake-effect conditions.

Maryland’s first snow of season

Garrett County and parts of West Virginia remained under a Winter Weather Advisory into Tuesday morning, with snowflakes spotted along U.S. 219 near Deep Creek. The National Weather Service said another inch or two could fall early Tuesday, bringing storm totals to three to six inches in the higher elevations.

First snow of season hits western Maryland; flurries possible in DC region Tuesday

By the numbers:

Closer to the D.C. region, FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda said we’re waking up to a cold start, with morning temperatures in the 30s and wind chills dipping into the 20s. She said dress for the teens to 20s early Tuesday, with highs only reaching the upper 30s to mid-40s.

While conditions will stay dry, a brief flurry or two can’t be ruled out. Deceptive sunshine may peek through, but the winter feel will certainly be in the air, keeping the day feeling colder than average.

What’s next:

Overnight lows will drop back into the 30s, with some areas dropping to or just below freezing by sunrise on Wednesday.

By Wednesday, temperatures rebound, climbing into the upper 50s to near 60 degrees. There could a brief cooldown possible at the start of the weekend before showers move in Sunday.

A 102-year-old military veteran sang the national anthem on Sunday at a Veterans Day Parade in Frederick County, Maryland.

World War II veteran Wilbur “Jack” Myers kicked off the 93rd annual Brunswick Veterans Day Parade with a sterling rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

The Brunswick Veterans Day Parade is one of the oldest Veterans Day celebrations in the country, according to event organizers.

Myers’ historical impact

Myers was a U.S. Army Corporal while serving during World War II. He was a gunner in the 1st platoon, Company B, 692nd Tank Destroyer Battalion.

According to his profile, Myers arrived in France in September 1944 and then went to the Netherlands to support the 104th Division and British forces in the Battle of Antwerp. 

Later that year, he was fighting in the Ardennes region as part of the Battle of the Bulge. 

In 1945, the 692nd crossed the Rhine River and advanced across Germany, arriving in Munich by April. Cpl. Myers earned a Bronze Star. 

Myers and the 692nd Tank Destroyer Battalion were attached to the 42nd, 63rd, and 104th Infantry divisions during World War II, and they were also involved in the liberation of Dachau concentration camp when attached to the 42nd Infantry Division, according to The Best Defense Foundation.  

In 2014, Myers returned to Europe to commemorate the 70th anniversary of “D-Day,” when allies invaded Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, according to several publications.

Baltimore’s Veterans Day Parade

The annual Baltimore City Veterans Day Parade took place on Saturday, beginning at the Washington Monument in the Mount Vernon neighborhood.

The parade featured a slew of military-supporting organizations, ROTC programs, and marching bands. WJZ was the proud media sponsor.

WJZ featured the Baltimore City College Marching Knights, who performed behind band director Jaylin Jackson.

“Typically, we go through the patriotic parade sequence, which has like three different songs, one including America the Beautiful,” Jackson said.

The Grand Marshal of the Baltimore parade was Retired Army General Larry Ellis, a native of Cambridge, Maryland, and the first African-American four-star general to have graduated from Morgan State University.

Over the course of his career in the U.S. Army, Ellis held leadership roles at every level across the globe, including South Korea, Europe, and even in the classroom.

“So the Army sent me to Indiana to get a master’s degree, to go to West Point, the United States Military Academy, to teach,” Ellis said.

Ellis’s career took him as far as commanding General of the U.S. Army Forces Command. 

“It has responsibility for all of the Army forces in the Continental United States, except for training and special operations,” Ellis said. 

In 2001, Ellis was promoted to the rank of four-star general, becoming the fourth African-American in the history of the U.S. Army to achieve this distinction.

Rutgers vs. Maryland prediction, picks, odds

Give Greg Schiano credit for this: He’s never lost a team. And even when a season isn’t going well, it’s never gone completely off the rails. And that’s why I think the Scarlet Knights will find a way to get past Maryland. Yes, I know how had the Rutgers defense has been. But I think Rutgers’ offense, which certainly didn’t play well against a struggling Illinois defense, will be more productive against the Terrapins, who are giving up 380.9 yards per game. Maryland’s run defense is also vulnerable, allowing 154.6 yards on the ground per game. Both teams are having bad seasons. Rutgers managed to beat another struggling team in Purdue on the road. The Scarlet Knights should be able to get by Maryland at home. Score prediction: Rutgers 35, Maryland 31
