BALTIMORE — We're only three days into 2025 and snow is already in the forecast.
Our own meteorologist Stevie Daniels is projecting a light coating of snow up to 2" in some parts of Maryland near the Pennsylvania line this afternoon.
With that said, schools in the area have decided to dismiss early Friday.
Baltimore, Carroll and Frederick County Public Schools are each closing two hours early, with all afternoon and evening activities canceled.
Howard County is closing 90 minutes early.
ALERT: Due to impending inclement weather, Baltimore County Public Schools will dismiss two (2) hours early on Friday, January 3, 2025. All afterschool and evening activities are also cancelled. School and central offices will remain open. No PM PreK.
