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.
