BALTIMORE -- Dozens of schools were closed or delayed Monday as Maryland dealt with the lingering effects - including bitter cold, slushy, frozen streets and at least one death - of a winter storm that blew through the state over the weekend.

Then more snow began falling Monday afternoon. The weather has prompted some school systems to announce schedule changes for Tuesday. Be sure to keep track of every update on TheWBALChannel.com and WBAL-TV 11 News.

As of 5:40 p.m., some drivers experienced major traffic delays on southbound Interstate 395 at Interstate 95 due to ice on the elevated highway ramps, Sky Team 11 reported. Transportation officials dispatched salt trucks to the scene to treat the roadways. Meantime, officials suggest drivers take an alternative route.

At its peak, the storm blocked roads, canceled sporting and community events and left thousands without power; but Maryland mostly dodged the fury - and heavy snow - seen farther north.

The storm was blamed for a crash that killed a pedestrian in Greenbelt on Saturday night. An SUV spun out of control and hit Neil Prendable, 48, as he walked around 7:20 p.m, Greenbelt police said.

Earlier in the day a 70-year-old Pennsylvania man was injured when a bus skidded into a bus-stop shelter in Takoma Park. The man was treated for cuts at a local hospital, Takoma Park police said.

Highway workers used about 500 pieces of equipment to clear roads before Monday's rush hour, and counties began coming out of their snow emergency plans - a good indication that the worst had passed, said Lora Rakowski, a spokeswoman for the State Highway Administration.

"Our primary roads are in great shape," she said, adding that workers were using salt brine, a liquefied version of rock salt that works better at colder temperatures, to keep roads from icing as temperatures plummeted.

Monday's rush hour was mostly uneventful, Rakowski said, largely because widespread school closings kept many children and their parents off the roads. She said highway workers would be out as long as the roads were in danger of freezing.

On the Eastern Shore, the National Weather Service reported 4 to 6 inches of snow fell during Saturday's storm; the highest snowfall totals were 8 inches in Bel Air, 7 inches in Frostburg and Glen Burnie, and 6.8 inches in Towson.

School systems around the state began canceling Monday's classes on Sunday afternoon. Students in at least 10 systems already had the day off for a previously scheduled professional day.

Drifting snow and the gusty winds also forced the Maryland Jockey Club to cancel live racing at Laurel Park for a second straight day Sunday. Laurel Park was scheduled to reopen Saturday for live racing for the first time in 10 months after a multimillion dollar renovation.

In southern Calvert County, about 20,000 customers lost power Sunday because of a faulty transmission line across the Patuxent River near Solomons, said Terry Ressler, spokeswoman for the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative. She said a heavier than usual load due to cold weather may have overloaded the line. Power was restored to all but about 500 customers Sunday night.

Elsewhere, the powdery, dry snow was picked up by winds gusting as hard as 57 miles per hour, said Trina Heiser, a technician with the National Weather Service.

The Baltimore Gas and Electric Company reported more than 3,000 of its customers were without power during the storm's peak on Saturday afternoon; by Monday, that number was about 250.

At Baltimore-Washington International Airport, both runways were open Monday, but there were still delays and cancelations for flights traveling to and from the northeast, said Tracy Newman, a BWI spokeswoman.

Newman said operations were "pretty much back to normal, but the Baltimore-Washington area isn't the only place affected by this storm. If people are planning on traveling, it would be best for them to check with their airlines before they leave their homes."
