Warmer weather boosts Frederick County road crews progress
The Frederick area saw relief as warmer weather melted ice and eased road conditions after a snow event. Eight county trucks salted and plowed western sections, especially Wolfsville Sabillasville, with forecasts showing clear roads by afternoon and cool nights. State crews mulled ice control on South Mountain while other counties reported over two feet of snow and rising flood risk from heavy rain. Two deaths were blamed on the weather as northern regions faced lingering storms and evacuations.
