St. Mary's County official urges residents to stay off roads amid heavy snow; budget work session moved
Summary
During opening remarks at a St. Mary's County meeting, an unidentified staff member warned of heavy snow through tonight, advised residents to stay home, and said the county's budget work session has been moved (date as spoken in the transcript was unclear).
An unidentified staff member at a St. Mary's County meeting urged residents to stay off the roads as the county expected heavy snow "this afternoon through tonight," and said the county's budget work session has been moved.
The speaker thanked county crews who will be working late to clear roads and asked listeners to "please . . . stay home," saying they should have enough supplies "to take care of your family for the next couple of days." The speaker added that the weather system was expected to "turn into actually rain by late tomorrow afternoon and then, right into, all through Wednesday and into Thursday morning."
The remarks came during the meeting's opening comments. The speaker said, "we've moved our budget work session till the 20 fifth. Almost a double work session," but the transcript rendering of the date was unclear; the exact rescheduled date was not specified in the record.
The official noted that most county employees would be allowed to leave early so they could travel home ahead of the storm, while those in emergency services would remain on duty. The comments emphasized both public-safety precautions and an administrative scheduling change.
No formal vote or ordinance related to the budget session date was recorded in the transcript; the statement was delivered as part of opening remarks rather than during an announced agenda item.
