The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Maryland as the forecast calls for 14 to 20 inches of snow tonight into Wednesday.

School districts across the region have canceled classes for the day, and many county and city governments are running on limited operations.


In the midst of cleaning-up the weekend's winter blast, State transportation officials are now beginning to shift strategy and preparing for round two.
