BALTIMORE — Marylanders shoveled and salted their driveways and sidewalks on Monday in between rounds of snow as winter weather blanketed the state. By the afternoon, many were outside in Baltimore County shoveling out in a lull before Old Man Winter returned.
This is one of the first major snowfalls the area has seen in quite some time. The National Weather Services says Maryland has received between three and 12 inches through Monday night.
Neighbors said they were looking forward to the snow day, a change of pace from the typical Monday.
“We haven’t had snow in a long time, and it’s just been we’ve been wanting it,” said Towson resident Ronda Wolfe. “I’ve been working from home all day, so that’s been nice. Tomorrow [Tuesday] more of the same, I think, just getting ready for what’s next to come.”
“Remain vigilant”
At a press conference Monday afternoon, Gov. Wes Moore updated the state on its progress in the storm and how conditions were on the roads. He says the state remains ready to respond in any emergency but encourages drivers to stay off the roads.
