State highway authorities on Monday were already urging Maryland residents to stay off the road as the storm hits.

Extremely cold temperatures may make clearing and treating roadways a challenge. Statewide, SHA has nearly 2,500 pieces of equipment ready to battle the storm on Monday night and Tuesday.

“Travel tonight and tomorrow morning should be delayed since it could take SHA crews through noon Tuesday to get roads to bare pavement,” said SHA Administrator Melinda Peters in a release. “The expected snow, in conjunction with bitterly cold temperatures, could create very difficult travel conditions. SHA is asking motorists to plan ahead – take care of shopping and errands prior to Monday evening and avoid travel overnight Monday and Tuesday morning.”
