“Snow, sleet, and freezing rain falling this evening and overnight could make road conditions treacherous throughout the state. I strongly urge all Marylanders to use common sense, take extreme caution, and avoid travel if possible,” Hogan said. “Keep a close eye on your local weather forecast, and check on family, friends, and neighbors and make sure they are safe throughout this late-season storm.”
Hogan recommended that those who must travel contact friends and family, and let them know where you are going, and when you expect to arrive there. He suggested being cautious when shoveling this heavy, wet snow, and to take frequent breaks to avoid overexertion. Hogan added that it is important to stay hydrated when shoveling outdoors.
The governor suggested stocking your vehicle with "car chargers," and kitty litter or sand, which he said would supply traction to spinning wheels. Hogan also advised residents to keep gadgets charged, and warned residents to never use generators indoors. He cautioned everyone to be prepared for power outages.
7:32 AM Thanks. The interns are out playing in the snow.
ReplyDeleteDyer used to report on the snow. There's a photo he uses of him standing outside crouched under an umbrella. He'd also report on which Bethesda businesses haven't cleared their sidewalks of snow.
ReplyDelete@10:03 -- Let's be clear-- there are three things we can be certain of in life: death, taxes, and Mr. Dyer criticizing the County's response to this snowstorm.
