Winter Storm Operations

Falling snowflakes can bring road challenges for Highway crews.

Every winter, Baltimore County faces a formidable task in keeping over 2,600 miles of road clear and passable. The county's diverse geography and the variability of temperatures and weather add to the challenge. It is common, for example, for crews to face snow in one section of Baltimore County while sleet and freezing rain fall elsewhere. The following tips and information should provide better knowledge on what procedures we follow and what you can do to help.
