BALTIMORE — Maryland residents dug out Tuesday from the major winter storm that blanketed the state in snow, and while main roads were mostly clear, some side streets remained covered in ice and snow.
Maryland State Police reported 1,137 calls for service, including 261 reported crashes and 309 unattended vehicles through Tuesday morning.
Snowy side streets
Parts of 34th Street in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood were still coated in snow Tuesday afternoon.
“I looked out the window and thought I didn’t have to go anywhere today, but then realized I do have to go somewhere, so I’m going to try it out,” Marcus Johnson said as he finished cleaning his car. “I’ve seen some cars going by. They look OK, so hopefully I will be OK too.”
Nearby, Robert Scheffler helped clear parking spaces for his neighbor.
“I was at my girlfriend’s house, and I thought I’d clear out some spaces to make it easier for people to park when they get back from wherever they are,” Scheffler said.
