Good Evening, this is Emergency Manager Rick Ayers with a winter weather message.  Harford County has been placed under a Winter Weather Warning.  The heaviest snow will occur during the daylight hours Wednesday and we should expect 4 to 6 inches of heavy wet snow.  The winds will also gust 30 to 40 mph during the day making hazardous driving conditions.  The combination of heavy wet snow and high winds will most likely result in power outages as well.  The EOC will partially activate at 8 AM to monitor the storm conditions in the county.  Thanks and be safe.
