ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore this afternoon declared a State of Emergency as the threat of a powerful winter storm will impact Maryland beginning this evening through Monday, February 23. Travel tonight and overnight will be extremely hazardous, especially in areas under a blizzard warning. Marylanders are urged to avoid travel, to follow local forecasts, to stay prepared for winter storm hazards, and to prepare for power outages.
Liberal leave is in effect for Maryland State government on Monday, February 23.
The previous release incorrectly stated that State government is closed on Monday, February 23. The State will continue to assess conditions throughout the night and will update any decision regarding closure if necessary.
