Winter weather advisory: Monday evening’s commute could be very icy because of wintry mix

By Greg Porter and Jason Samenow January 7 at 3:00 PM



The Washington and Baltimore areas face a potentially hazardous commute Monday afternoon and evening, not so much from snow but from ice. On Sunday afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory highlighting the potential for a light wintry mix to glaze surfaces between 3 and 9 p.m. Monday.

We advise that motorists pay close attention to conditions Monday afternoon, consider leaving work early and allow considerable extra time for commuting. Southern Maryland is excluded from the advisory but should still use caution and monitor temperatures on Monday.
