Snowstorm disrupts commute across Maryland area
Commuters from Prince George's and Montgomery Counties faced heavy delays as a major snowstorm snarled roads. A Beltway outer loop multi vehicle crash halted traffic for hours while Dulles kept a runway open and National Airport shut most of the day. Baltimore Washington International reported eight inches of snow with sporadic shutdowns. AmTrak ran near schedule, trains packed. Metrorail used special trains as bus service faltered on hills and unplowed streets. By 3 p.m. Bowie saw over a foot of snow and Annapolis eight to nine inches slowed travel. Some General Assembly committee meetings were postponed. Gov Schaefer canceled to handle emergencies. Budget Secretary Stettler briefed reporters.
