Maryland Gov. Wes Moore issued an executive order late Sunday declaring a state of emergency as a powerful winter storm approached with forecasts calling for heavy snow across much of the state.

Maryland weathered the state's first major snowstorm in years, leading Governor Wes Moore and Mayor Brandon Scott to declare states of emergency to give full access to resources to respond to the storm.

Some streets in Baltimore City were still covered in snow Tuesday afternoon following a snowstorm Monday that dumped about 3 to 12 inches of snow across Maryland.

The worst of Monday’s snowstorm throughout the mid-Atlantic wrapped up with nearly 6 inches measured at BWI Marshall Airport before a second wave of snow was expected in the evening. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and other state officials urged motorists to continue to avoid the road Monday evening,
