Winter finally arrived in the Hancock area this past weekend as a snowstorm, stretching from New Mexico into New England, dumped snow and sleet on Hancock and plunged temperatures into record lows.
According to the Maryland Mesonet weather station in Kirkwood Park, about six inches of snow fell and temperatures in Hancock didn’t get above 16 degrees.
This is the first winter for the weather station to collect data for public record.
