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.
