'Second Punch' of Storm Coming: Maryland Emergency Management Agency
The director of the Maryland Emergency Management Agency joined state officials in delivering the message that the winter storm was not over.
After some parts of the state are digging out from more than a foot of snow, Maryland officials said that round two was on the way.
"We are not out of the woods yet. If people are at home, you should stay home," Gov. Martin O'Malley said at an 11 a.m. press conference.
More precipitation was coming, the governor said. It would be a couple of inches of snow and sleet or just snow, Fox 45 reported.
The snow will hit in the late afternoon, according to officials.
"Around 4 p.m., we will see the second punch of this storm," Director of Maryland Emergency Management Agency Ken Mallette said.
Officials said that power outages may be possible Thursday afternoon.
