Cecil County Snow Closures On Wednesday, March 21

BREAKING: Due to winter weather, schools have announced closures on Wednesday in Cecil County.

CECIL COUNTY, MD — Cecil County Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday, March 21, officials said Tuesday night. The school system announced the closure as the region braces for around a foot of snow.

Authorities have advised people to stay off the roads during the snowstorm.

“Snow, sleet and freezing rain falling this evening and overnight could make road conditions treacherous throughout the state," Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said in a statement Tuesday evening. "I strongly urge all Marylanders to...avoid travel if possible. 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.”
