Still recovering from the last storm? Same.
Another winter system may be possible this weekend. When you’re able, restock essentials, recharge devices, and check plans to be ready.

🚫 Travel Advisory for Maryland
What you see now is not the worst of the storm.
Snow will become heavier and switch to mixed precipitation by 1 PM, making roads more dangerous.
If you don’t have to travel... don’t. Wait until the storm fully passes.
#mdwx #MDReady #WeCare
For those who have been asking, here are the latest precipitation onset times for this evening. Please plan your preparations and travel accordingly.
#MDReady #wecare #mdwx
🚨 Today is the day, Maryland.
Winter weather moves in this evening — before the first snowflake drops:
✔️ Charge devices
✔️ Stock food, water & meds
✔️ Prep for power outages
✔️ Rethink travel plans
A little prep now = fewer headaches later.
#mdwx #MDReady #WeCare
So sign up for local alerts, follow trusted sources, and never ignore a warning — even if conditions don’t look severe where you are... yet.
Preparedness starts with you (and a crabcake, always a crabcake).

Maryland weather:
❄️ in the morning
☀️ by lunch
🌧️ by dinner
We’d love to give winter weather safety messaging…
…but Maryland hasn’t committed to a season yet.
That’s why preparedness here is year-round.
What season are you feeling today?
#mdwx #MDLife #MDReady #WeCare
You shared what you would like to see us do differently. But, how about you? How are you better preparing this year for potential emergencies so we can focus on other things?
#FeedbackFriday #WeCare #MDReady
The work you don’t always see
makes a real difference.
A lot of emergency management happens quietly — through planning, partnerships, and learning from past events.
That work helps Marylanders better withstand future hazards, even if it’s not always visible.
#WeCare #MDReady #Mitigation
New year, new you… and maybe a new us too!

Brace yourself, Eddie; winter is already here. ❄️
This weekend, as we mark Yule and the winter solstice — whether in MD or Westeros — it’s the perfect reminder to slow down, bundle up, and stay prepared for winter hazards.

❄️Know the Winter Risks❄️
Snow and sleet may look like nothing, but they hide big risks.
Slow down, increase following distance, clear your vehicle, and treat walkways early.
Like that profile on Tinder, looks can be deceiving.

It got cold! 😬❄️
Cold temps thicken engine oil, slow performance, and frost your windows.
A few minutes of warm-up helps protect your engine and improves visibility.
#WinterSafetyWeek #MDReady #WeCare
Ok, time to spill your secrets! ❄️
What’s your winter prep routine?
Layering socks? Pantry overstocking like a squirrel? Turning into a blanket burrito?
Tell us, Maryland, how you get ready for the cold!
