A severe winter storm is impacting Maryland, DC, and surrounding areas with heavy snowfall, sleet, and ice. Maryland has declared a State of Emergency, with Gov. Wes Moore warning that the storm could affect the entire state and bringing as much as 14 inches of snow in some regions. The storm is characterized by snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour, transitioning to sleet and freezing rain by mid-morning, which may lead to ice accumulation of up to 0.2 inches. Maryland officials have mobilized over 14,000 lane miles of road pre-treatment and emergency crews to handle the storm, with Prince George's County deploying 300 personnel and 34,000 tons of salt. The DC region has also declared a state of emergency, with forecasts predicting 6-10 inches of snow, followed by a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain, potentially causing power outages and hazardous travel conditions. Authorities advise residents to stay off roads, dress warmly, and prepare for prolonged disruptions. Multiple states along the East Coast have issued emergency declarations, and federal assistance has been requested. The storm is expected to last into Monday, with continued cold temperatures and additional snowfall forecasted.
