About an inch of snow fell in Baltimore, with slightly more coating areas to the north and west.

Maryland State Police report that they had responded to 300 calls for service on the roads as of 8:20 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Mike Schuh was out with the WJZ mobile weather lab Wednesday morning, and snow seemed to be falling more heavily and sticking to the roads more in parts of Carroll County.

By the afternoon we'll have partly sunny skies in the area, according to Marty. But it will remain cold.

"Once we start to skies clear, he comes a bit of an Arctic blast," Marty says. Temperatures will dip to the teens tonight.

A Code Blue Alert has been issued for Wednesday night through Thursday morning by the Baltimore City Health Department.

"As we continue to battle dangerously low temperatures, it is important for us to remember that hypothermia, or low body temperature, can be just as dangerous as extreme heat, and every year, there are Baltimoreans who die due to hypothermia," said Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen. "I encourage residents to stay indoors in heated areas during these periods. Please help those around you who are the most vulnerable to the cold, including children, the elderly, and people with chronic medical illnesses."
