Winter Storm Timetable from Harford County Emergency Manager Rick Ayers

Harford County's Emergency Manager Rick Ayers provided an outline of what's headed our way in the latest winter storm, in a Sunday morning alert for citizens. Here is the message, in its entirety:

"Good morning, this is Emergency Manager Rick Ayers with an emergency message.

"Harford County has been placed under a winter storm warning by the National Weather Service, effective at 7 p.m.

"Later this afternoon, we will start to see rain from this storm system and then a transition to a wintery mix in the late evening, before turning to all snow overnight.

"The highest intensity of snow will occur between 4 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday, and we could expect between 8 to 12 inches of snow.

"A very cold air mass will also move into the area and temperatures Monday night will be close to 0. This cold air mass will remain in place through at least mid week.

"As a reminder from our [Department of Public Works] crews, please do not park on streets if at all possible; however, if you have to, please park on the even-numbered side of the street. Thanks and be safe."

The winter storm warning ends at 6 p.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service, which advised people only to drive in an emergency during the warning period.

Travel conditions will be "very hazardous this evening through Monday," according to the weather service.

Significant amounts of ice and snow may cause power outages.
