Anne Arundel County, MD – Maryland State Police are urging drivers to avoid travel tonight after responding to nearly 1,000 service calls and 62 crashes during ongoing winter weather.
According to Maryland State Police, snow has turned to sleet and freezing rain across much of the state, leaving roads dangerously slick. Officials say conditions will remain hazardous overnight as temperatures continue to drop.
“Your safety is our priority,” troopers said in a Friday night update. “Even where snow has ended, icy roads remain a threat. Slow down and don’t crowd the plow.”
Troopers are continuing to patrol Anne Arundel, Baltimore, and Montgomery counties, assisting stranded motorists and monitoring traffic conditions statewide. Authorities warn that refreezing could make early morning travel especially dangerous.
Residents are advised to stay home if possible, give plows and emergency vehicles room, and follow local alerts for ongoing weather updates.
