Winter has officially arrived in Maryland, and the Baltimore region is preparing for its first true dose of wintry weather on Tuesday. With temperatures expected to plunge into the mid-20s overnight and a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and rain in the forecast, state and local officials are urging residents to take precautions against cold-weather illnesses.
Health experts warn that illnesses such as hypothermia and frostbite can develop quickly when the body’s temperature drops below 95 degrees. So far this season, Maryland has reported one cold-related death and nearly 70 cold-related hospital visits.
