The snowstorm, which is expected to continue into Wednesday morning, was expected to accumulate up to seven inches in some parts of the state.

The snowfall should taper off before 7 a.m., however, many school districts have decided to close, delay, or transition to virtual learning. 

A winter weather advisory is in effect for Baltimore City, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Cecil counties through Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, a winter storm warning is issued for the rest of Maryland during the same timeframe.
