Library insiders said the move particularly hurt small and rural libraries, with limited access to other sources of funding.

In response to the EO, attorneys general in 21 states filed a lawsuit against the administration, and in November a Rhode Island District Court judge ruled that the Trump administration's actions were unlawful.

WEATHER UPDATE/3:30 AM: A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect beginning at 4:00 AM. Calvert, Prince George's and St. Mary's County Public Schools are operating on a 2 Hour Delay this morning. The St. Mary's County Government is also opening on a delay of 10:00 AM.
Many roads were treated overnight and into early this morning. Expect road crews to continue to treat the roads.
We are beginning to see the first flurries throughout the area. But the heaviest of the snow remains to our west and continues to slowly move east.
If we begin to see light to moderate snow, expect road conditions to deteriorate fast and become slick.

there would be less chance of a nasty ice storm though, so that would help!
