MD Weather: Latest Snow Totals, Travel Warnings

MARYLAND — As snow blanketed Maryland Sunday, forecasters updated their guidance for the Baltimore-Washington region. Wintry weather could make travel hazardous, especially during the morning or evening commute, according to the National Weather Service.

Some areas of the state are under a winter weather advisory until Monday morning, while a winter storm warning remains in effect for northern and northeastern Maryland until Tuesday morning.

"This will be a multiple-day storm," the Maryland State Highway Administration said in a statement Sunday. "Be prepared for a long duration with wintry mix through Tuesday. Go virtual if you can."

While there may be a lull between periods of snow, authorities advise cold temperatures, mixed precipitation and strong winds will continue to create dangerous conditions Monday.

Travel Guidance From MDOT

Crews are tending to roads across the state and urge people to stay home if possible.

State highway officials offered these tips for driving on snowy or icy roads:

• Give snow plows a wide berth.
• Clear snow and ice from your vehicle before driving.
• Drive about 10 mph below the limit — "take it slow on ice and snow" — since speed limits are designed for ideal conditions.
• Stay extra vigilant on bridges, overpasses and ramps, which freeze first.

Authorities earlier called for up to a foot of snow in some parts of the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area but downgraded their projections Sunday night, calling for anywhere from light precipitation to 5 more inches of accumulation on top of what has already fallen in some northern parts of the state.

Here are the projected snow totals in select areas:

Updated Winter Storm Warning, Winter Weather Advisory

Before 6 a.m. Monday, the National Weather Service updated its winter storm warning for the following areas: Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Frederick, Harford and Washington counties. The warning — which calls for 2 to 4 inches of additional snow and 0.1 inch ice — is in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday. Hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute, according to the National Weather Service.

A winter weather advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Monday for Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, southern Baltimore County, Howard County and Montgomery County. The advisory calls for freezing drizzle or light freezing rain and up to 0.1 inch ice. Drivers and pedestrians should use extra care when venturing out. An earlier winter storm warning for this region was canceled.

Southern Maryland: Calvert and St. Mary's counties are under a winter weather advisory until 10 a.m. Monday calling for light freezing rain or rain and possibly a glaze of ice. People should slow down, as roads may be slippery.

Western Maryland: Allegany and Garrett counties are under a winter storm warning until 6 a.m. Tuesday. Before then, another 2 to 4 inches of snow may accumulate.
