As winter asserts its authority over the mid-Atlantic, Maryland finds itself caught between two elemental forces this weekend — an arctic freeze descending Saturday and a powerful low-pressure system rising from the south Sunday, together composing the kind of storm that reminds communities how thin the margin is between routine life and disruption. The geography of cold and warmth will determine who receives snow and who receives rain, with the boundary between them still unresolved, leaving forecasters and residents alike in a posture of watchful preparation.
