Up to 90 Percent of Roads to be Plowed Monday: County
Harford County emergency officials advise citizens not to drive, as county remains under state of emergency Monday, Jan. 25.
HARFORD COUNTY, MD – Approximately 85 to 90 percent of county roads will have been touched by a plow by the end of Monday in Harford County, as cleanup continues from the weekend blizzard that reportedly dropped more than 30 inches of snow in parts of Harford.
Where roads have been plowed, large piles of snow remain at the intersections, limiting visibility, according to an update from Harford County government.
“So please stay off the roads again today if possible to let our snow plows continue their work and give priority to emergency vehicles,” Harford County officials said in a statement Monday morning.
