In Maryland, there wasn't as much snow as was expected. 

But,  the stuff we got was wet and heavy. 

Mix that with strong winds and there were some dangerous situations around the state. 
 
A tree fell on a home in Prince George's County around 4:30 yesterday afternoon while seven people were inside. 
 
The home has been declared unsafe, meaning the residents are temporarily displaced.
 
Luckily no one was hurt. 
 
Officials believe high winds and the soft, wet ground contributed to the tree's toppling.
