Doug Kammerer of NBC4 has released his winter outlook, which is currently only available on NBC4 newscasts. In the outlook he projects as much as 38-52 inches for places like Frederick and Hagerstown, 30-40 inches for places like Gaithersburg, Leesburg, and Rockville, and 22-30 inches for Bethesda, DC, and Prince George’s County.
Kammerer had some of the lowest snow totals projected for last winter, and provided one of the most accurate outlooks for the 2022-2023 winter. This year, he’s going the other way. In a Facebook Live following a 6:50 presentation of the 2023-2024 Winter Outlook, he stated that “if this sets up correctly, we can see more than predicted.”

Per the State of Maryland: Governor Wes Moore applauded today’s announcement of nearly $7 billion in awards from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration for Maryland projects that will make Amtrak and MARC rail service safer, faster, more reliable and more convenient for passengers. The projects, in Baltimore City and Baltimore, Harford and Cecil counties, were selected through the Biden Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and its Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program and are expected to support more than 100,000 good-paying construction jobs and spark economic activity throughout the corridor.
Funding awarded to Amtrak includes up to $4.7 billion to replace the 150-year-old B&P Tunnel with the new Frederick Douglass Tunnel. Two new high-capacity tunnel tubes will primarily serve electrified passenger trains, reducing noise and pollution for the community. The new tunnel will benefit MARC and Amtrak service and eliminate a key bottleneck between Washington, D.C., and New York City.
