Well, it’s happening again.  Another blizzard in the Northeast.  In January of 1996, Baltimore had about 2 feet of snow dumped on it.  And, from what I understand, this year is going to be even worse.

How does Baltimore handle snow?  Well, not much better than Atlanta!  I was living in downtown Baltimore at the time.  After the worst was over, I took a walk with a camera.

Shown below, you’ll see a side street in Baltimore after the snow fall.  Yes, those lumps you see on the far side of the street are automobiles. 

Anyone who actually succeeded in uncovering their car ended up with a nice parking spot to use upon their return.  I don’t know if it’s a tradition, but during that snow storm, nice parking spots were immediately filled with lawn chairs or any other outdoor furniture that would make it tough for someone else to park there.

So, hang in there, Baltimore.  And, keep your snow lawn chairs close at hand!
