Digging Out From the Arctic Blast in Baltimore

I think most of the United States is digging out from the Arctic blast that started blowing through on Saturday.

A reminder to Baltimore County residents that the county states we must have our sidewalks cleared within 24 hours of a snowfall or risk a citation.  Who do I contact to cite the county for not removing the snow or treating the streets in my neighborhood?

And, if you are in Baltimore City, the mayor, Brandon Scott, has spoken, and residents no longer have to honor the chair. In past years, residents of Baltimore City and surrounding areas would clear the snow from the street in front of their home and place a chair there to reserve their parking spot.  According to a recent article in the Baltimore Banner, the mayor says no more. 

But please check on your neighbors, especially the elderly, to make sure they are warm and safe and have what they need, and perhaps help them with their snow removal. I am thankful for my neighbors, all of whom have banded together to aid in the snow removal to make it easier for everyone.

June, it seems that storm sort of missed us, we only got a couple of inches, but it sure was cold.  Stay safe.

Good morning June. So the reserving cleared parking spaces is, or was, popular in Baltimore. I remember the days of living in Chicago where "dibs" were taken seriously. Enjoy your day.

Another reason I'm glad I have a garage! If I spent all that time digging out a spot in front of my house, I'd want to make sure I could park in it!

Hmm, it sounds like there needs to be assigned parking instead of the chair, haha.  That is a lot of snow.

Hello June I was wondering of how much snow you got and how cold it is by you.  My college roommate is in Florida and it cold there also where he is at.

Will, here in Catonsville, we got about 14" of snow, and it was below zero with the wind chill. We have had 8-degree weather with wind chill down to -5 to -10 at times. Today was my first day out. I still can't move my car, as the road from where my driveway is located has not been plowed. My boyfriend (I think I'll keep him) picked me up this morning and took me to my appointment.
