Annapolis, MD (February 28, 2019) – The National Weather Service is predicting that Annapolis may see overnight snowfall that could significantly impact the morning commute. Annapolis is expected to see a mix of snow and sleet between 1:30 and 3:30 a.m. on March 1, turning to sleet around 6:30 a.m.  Temperatures will hover around freezing. By afternoon, the winter storm will likely become a rain event.

The City of Annapolis Public Works Department is fully prepared. Crews will be on the job starting at 4 a.m. on Friday morning, with additional crews reporting at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Friday morning. The crews will begin treating City streets at 4 a.m., if needed.  Public Works has more than 600 tons of salt in stock.

For plowing information, visit the City’s Public Work’s Snow Information webpage at the following link: https://www.annapolis.gov/730/Snow-Information. This page will have information on Snow Emergency Routes, Snow Connector Routes and the City’s Snow Plan.


Public Works and Transit:
At this time, Friday’s regularly scheduled refuse and recycling collection currently is still scheduled. The City’s Transit schedule also is currently on schedule.

Recreation and Parks: The "Pip" Moyer Recreation Center will follow weather emergency plans issued by the City of Annapolis. For example, if the City is closed for snow, then the Annapolis Recreation and Parks facilities are closed. If there is a delayed opening or an early closing issued by the City, the facilities will also follow that schedule. For further information, please visit the Department's Cancellations and Inclement Weather page.
