Brief Westminster Snow Storm Makes for Slick Roads

Forecasters say the brief snow storm will pass, leading to sunny skies this afternoon.

Although forecasters say the snow currently falling in Westminster will pass over quickly, it has left roads covered and slick.

Meteorologist Justin Berk said that the storm is "just about done" just after 9 a.m. Thursday, but added that roads may be slick. 

The National Weather Service (NWS) reported that cities including Westminster, Owings Mills and Reisterstown would see a period of light to locally moderate snow that would accumulate on the roadways. 

Roberta Windham, spokeswoman for Carroll County government, said that crews are out treating roads and that roads were not pre-treated for this event. 

The weather after 11 a.m. is forecast to be cloudy but then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 40, according to NWS. Friday is expected to be sunny with a high near 40.
