Baltimore, Maryland – Maryland State Police are urging residents to prepare for a winter storm expected to impact the state beginning this evening through Monday morning.
According to a statement posted by the Maryland State Police, the agency is advising drivers to slow down if travel is necessary and use caution on icy and snow-covered roads. Officials emphasized that when a Snow Emergency Plan is in effect, vehicles parked on designated snow emergency routes are subject to towing.
Police also reminded motorists not to “crowd the plow,” warning that following snowplows too closely can create hazardous driving conditions and interfere with roadway clearing efforts.
The advisory comes as winter weather is expected to move across Maryland overnight and into the start of the workweek. While specific snowfall totals were not included in the announcement, officials stressed the importance of monitoring official weather updates and planning ahead.
Snow Emergency Plans are activated by local jurisdictions during significant winter weather to keep major roadways clear for emergency vehicles and snow removal operations. Drivers are encouraged to check local government websites or transportation departments for route designations and enforcement details.
The timing of the storm may affect late-night travelers and Monday morning commuters across the state. Authorities recommend allowing extra travel time and ensuring vehicles are equipped for winter conditions.
Maryland State Police said residents should continue to follow official updates as conditions develop.
