We’re expecting snow to arrive between 11pm and midnight tonight. The latest snow accumulation totals were recently increased for up to a foot for Calvert County Help us help you by observing these tips.

- Stay at home if at all possible. Avoid parking on the street if you can. Let’s give the road crews all the space they need to clear the roads.

- If you are using a fireplace, wood stove, kerosene heater, or other combustible fuel source for heat, be sure you have a working CO alarm.

- Keep all space heaters, regardless of fuel type, at least 3 feet from all combustibles.

- Do not use your stove and oven as a supplemental heating source.
If you use a heat pump, be sure to keep the snow clear of the outside unit.

- If you have to get out on the road, be sure your car is ready for the drive (i.e., good tread on your tires, a full tank of gas, an emergency kit with flashlight and blankets in case of breakdown, and a fully charged cell phone. Visit YouTube for winter driving tips.

- When it comes time to shovel snow, work at a moderate pace, take frequent breaks, and remember to lift with your legs, not your back.

- Should you need our services, know that our response times will be longer due to the road conditions.
