Hopping around news sites to see. I came across this: Hours later at about 9:30 p.m., BGE reported almost 96,300 outages.

"There are 140 trucks deployed to plow and salt city roads. Over 2,300 tons of salt have been used."

"11 Insta-Weather PLUS Chief Meteorologist Tom Tasselmyer said about 5 to 10 more inches of snow are possible in the Baltimore Metro area from nightfall until midnight or 1 a.m. Tasselmyer said the snow is expected to be very heavy, and it could come as quickly as an inch or two an hour."
