Snow shuts Maryland city county and state offices
The snow caused shutdowns across Frederick and Maryland, with city officials, county commissioners, and state leaders closing government offices. Schools and stores closed, roads were treacherous, and travel advisories limited movement while essential services like fuel and heat continued. Some traffic and travel disruptions persisted, with I-70 and nearby routes affected and an airport closure at BWI. An upcoming talk by Stephen Crawford was rescheduled due to the weather.
