(February 13, 2014) – The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) reminds all travelers that more snow is on the way.
According to weather forecasts, additional accumulation is expected later this afternoon and evening, with temperatures dropping and creating icy conditions. SHA continues to track the second part of the storm from its Statewide Operations Center. Operators are continually monitoring traffic management cameras and pavement sensors, which help determine areas were additional plowing and salting is needed.
“The next wave of snow, as well as thunder and lightning, has hit some areas so drivers should remain alert for changing conditions,” said Administrator Melinda B. Peters. “Delaying travel is the best way to avoid being stranded. Many drivers heeded the warning and that has helped SHA with its operations. However crews will work on ramps, intersections and shoulders through the night.”
Emergency truck parking is available by using the downloadable application
