This unexpected snow day on day two of syllabus week doesn&#8217;t come with the same satisfaction as one that falls during midterm season, but Terps don&#8217;t seem to mind. More importantly, Maryland basketball is still open for business and tonight&#8217;s game against Northwestern at 7 p.m. will continue as scheduled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tonight (Tuesday):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The light snow has not been sticking to the ground and will end at 8 p.m. A cold front will come through this evening and temperatures will drop into the teens after a high in the low 40s today. Winds from the northwest will be at 7 to 13 mph, with gusts reaching 20 mph and the chance of precipitation is 80%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomorrow (Wednesday):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow will be mostly sunny with a high near 35, but the wind chill will make you think twice about stepping outside with exposed skin. Southerly winds at 5 to 10 mph will become westerly at 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon, and gusts could even reach 46 mph. Put on your hat, mittens, and a nice big scarf! The chance of precipitation is 40%, so we may see scattered snow showers between 1 and 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomorrow Night:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another Arctic cold front will push through tomorrow, bringing bitter cold overnight. The low will be only 6 degrees, and wind chill values may be as low as -6 degrees. Winds from the northwest will blow at 13 to 18 mph, decreasing after midnight.
