Patch Wants To Know Where Friends, Families Go Sledding In Havre De Grace

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — As many Marylanders crawl out from under the state's first big snowstorm of the season, kids who didn't have school for a few days had plenty of time to test out big hills and local hot spots for sledding.

And with more snow in the forecast, Patch wants to know where families and friends can go sledding. Email kristin.danley-greiner@patch.com with addresses or specific descriptions of publicly accessible sledding hills and hotspots. Patch will run an article with these locations that everyone can enjoy.

TELL US: Where are the best sledding hills in your Patch?

Here are the highest snow totals the National Weather Service reported for Harford County:

• Aberdeen Proving Ground 4.0"
• Churchville 3.5"
• Forest Hill 3.3"

Don't put away the shovels and sleds just yet though. A winter storm threat may materialize late Friday night into early Saturday, the National Weather Service said. A developing ice storm will target southern states by the end of the week before turning toward the mid-Atlantic and possibly New England this weekend, AccuWeather said. There's a potential for 1 to 3 inches of snow.

AccuWeather said the storm could quickly head east into the ocean, leaving central Maryland with less snow and the lower Eastern Shore with more. AccuWeather noted that the system could instead strengthen at the coast and slowly trek northeast, increasing the snowfall along the Interstate 95 corridor.

"Not only would such a storm bring a substantial amount of snow to cities such as Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, and even Boston from Saturday to Saturday night, but it would also increase winds along the coast on par with a major nor'easter," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said. "However, this scenario is much less likely — say only about a 15% chance of occurrence —but still poses enough of a threat to be monitored closely."
