Snowstorm disrupts travel across Washington County
Early Friday a rough snow event snarled roads as a tractor trailer jackknifed on I-70, closing eastbound lanes for over two hours and rerouting traffic through Md 66 and U S 40. Numerous fender benders followed with no serious injuries as temps rose later. Ocean City felt wind and rain with 60 to 65 mph gusts tearing a roof from a condo. Garrett County braced for 10 inches of snow while police lifted the snow emergency in the county by afternoon.

Frederick traffic study paints smooth downtown flow despite delays
A preliminary Frederick traffic study says downtown flow is unobstructed amid double parked trucks and signal delays. It links future development including Patrick Center and Blackhorse II to modest changes, noting possible congestion from planned projects and unused space that could reshape traffic patterns. The study awaits Board of Aldermen review and Planning Commission approval before becoming official.

Sale of Fountain Rock Spring ends Maryland purchase plan
A December letter from Maryland official Torrey C Brown notified Frederick County commissioners that the state will not exercise its option to buy 22.5 acres around Fountain Rock Spring. The decision leaves a proposed 485000 dollar state buyout, originally agreed two years ago, unexecuted and raises questions about water supply for a trout hatchery and regional growth.
