A reminder of Winter
A weak wave of upper level energy will zip overhead tonight and tomorrow, which should spread rain showers into the area. After midnight or so, the surface should have cooled sufficiently to allow snow showers to dust the region with March's first snowfall. Accumulations will mostly be confined to grassy and elevated surfaces (the roads should remain fine).

Another, more intense area of low pressure should make an appearance later next week. Surface temperatures will once again be marginal for accumulating snowfall, but it's interesting we can go from sunny, 80 degree days, to snowy, 40 degree days in less than a week.

Electric Bill Woes:
As 9 News reports on its website: "For Marylanders, Summer Could Be Hot, Dark And Expensive," tensions between lawmakers and electric company's have begun to strain. Pepco is reporting:

Due to significant increases in the cost of fuels used to generate electricity, the average monthly electric bill for Maryland residential customers will increase by about 38.5 percent, or $39.00; residential bills will rise from an average of $101.29 today to an average of $140.29 once the June 1 price increases are fully reflected in customer bills.

BGE electric will also increase rated by nearly 80% come summer, which is an extra $800 a year.

Furthermore, if this summer turns out hotter than normal, further strains will be placed on the electric company's to supply power to the Capital Region residents.
