Major roadways in and around the Baltimore region appear to have avoided the worst possible outcome from the overnight snowstorm as snow emergency plans were being lifted by counties across the state.

Live traffic cameras from the Maryland Department of Transportation show traffic flowing on major roadways all across the state, with only a few showing significant snow cover.

That does not mean it’s time to throw caution to the wind, however.

There were five traffic alerts listed on the MDOT website around 2:30 p.m. The website updates frequently to reflect current conditions.

Maryland State Police said they had responded to 343 crashes over the course of this storm. Of those, officials wrote on social media, about 30% of the calls for service came from the Eastern Shore.

Gov. Wes Moore on Sunday urged Marylanders to be careful during the storm and stay off the roads if possible. Liberal leave was in effect for many state employees, with closures on the Eastern Shore.

Winter storm sweeps across Maryland, with heavy snow on Eastern Shore

Feb 23, 2026

If you do drive, remove all snow and ice from the top of your vehicle and clear off your headlights. Slow down, use caution while driving and give yourself extra time to come to a complete stop.

Temperatures were expected to drop Monday evening, meaning wet areas on roads and sidewalks could freeze, especially overnight. National Weather Service forecasters said overnight lows could drop into the teens.

Road conditions could vary widely across smaller roads in Maryland, considering the large variation in how much snow fell in different areas. Parts of the Eastern Shore saw more than a foot, according to early reports, while areas around Baltimore and Annapolis saw fewer than 4 inches.

In Baltimore, officials said Monday morning that crews would be focused on applying salt to roads to prevent slippery conditions. A road treated with salt or brine is less likely to refreeze.

Plane and train delays

Multipe flights were canceled at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, according to the airport’s website. As of around 2:30 p.m., far fewer flights were being cancelled than on Monday morning. However, flights to areas in the Northeast, where the storm hit harder, were cancelled.

Officials urged travelers to check their flight status with their airline before heading to the airport.

“Our winter weather team worked throughout the night to ensure safe operating conditions,” airport spokesperson Jonathan Dean said in an email Monday. “Our airline partners continue to operate this morning.”

Dean said the large scale of the storm is causing disruptions in other parts of the country, so there will continue to be flight disruptions.

The area’s rail lines were seeing similar interruptions. The MARC Penn Line between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., was operating on its Saturday schedule today, and the Brunswick and Camden lines were operating on their “R” schedules, according to the Maryland Transit Administration.

And more than a dozen Amtrak and Acela trains were canceled Monday.
