just wait; the temp is supposed to drop about 25 degrees over the course of the day tomorrow (when it will still be raining).
Having grown up in New England, snow isn't that great. Especially here, where no one knows what to do with it.
I'm from the Pacific Northwest. When an inch falls in Portland or Seattle people lose their MINDS. No one knows how to drive in snow and ice and frankly it's safer to stay inside if you can. I hear it's similar here in Bmore

Any amount of snow accumulation is bad news here. Snow removal budget is minimal at best so plows are always slow to respond and don't do a great job
Yeah, possibly the only thing I hate about Maryland is our winter weather. Rarely get snow, but always ALMOST get snow.
I agree wholeheartedly.
I disagree with that, tbh, unless there's a full on blizzard it seems like all major roadways are typically plowed and salted by ~8AM. Everything is always pretreated beforehand, too.
Drivers are still most definitely idiots, though.
More like it would be ice 😬
Question: do alleys get plowed if it snows? Most people on my block park behind their houses so we use the alley, just curious if the city will plow that or if we need to get the shovels lol
My least favorite (non hurricane) weather is 35 degree rain.
Alleys don't normally get plowed. Make sure wherever you do park that it doesn't say Snow Emergency Route. Some of the signs may be faded.
Only been a thing for the past 20 years. We get the occasional dumps still,.. but now its nothing in between. 3-5 snow days used to be guaranteed,.. and I mean SNOW day
Aren’t we getting snow tomorrow?
We're... ok with this 😁
Roads barely get plowed lol
I have to go to work no matter the weather so lack of real winter storms is my favorite thing about maryland. 🤣
Common practice is for most residents to team up and shovel it together in my experience
You'll always have 1 or 2 assholes who refuse to help, though.

Ain't nobody got nothing to say about a 40-degree day
Wait, y'all want snow? We're about to enter one of the biggest traveling days of the year and MD drivers are horrible on a sunny summer day. Hell yeah I am happy it is not snowing, I'm trying not to get murdered on the highway to my parents house.
Maryland rush hour in rain is very much risking your life to drive to and from work. Snow they will hopefully shut you down or let you work remote.
You’re absolutely correct. Which is why I’ve never been more thankful for 41 degree weather!
No chance for remote work for me, but I agree that rush hour in the rain, especially night rain is a very “when someone crashes into me, not if” situation.
Nuts to snow tbqh
I'd rather drive on powder than a flash freeze after raining all day
Like a 40 degree day!
I've always hated snow, but after getting stuck in the 95 shutdown in Virginia last year for 28 hours, I'd be happy to never see a single snowflake again.

Folks can’t drive on 695 when it’s sunny and warm. They don’t need the extra challenge of snow and ice, hard pass
Here comes the rain again…..falling on my head like a memory…….
And it's gonna freeze all the rain that's falling, 9am to noon it drops like 20 degrees.
Yeah. 90s md always got a few snow days a year, and sometimes many. Snow could also come as early as October and as late as April.
And every few years was a big blizzard, which was fun in its way.
When was our last blizzard? 2016? Almost 7 years ago?
Sounds about right.
Though there was a decent one in 2018 iirc
I’d already forgotten that hellscape. So many crises since then, so many more ahead. But that really happened. Crazy. Awful. Gives me the shivers just thinking what that would have been like…for the very young, the old, those traveling alone, those traveling with people they despise (you know it happened). Congratulations for keeping your sanity, Old Bay!
My thoughts exactly. I'd rather have snow.
I'm curious; what do you do with it? I know Philly used to dump it in the Schuylkill until they filled it up by accident and I think now they have giant melters.
Isn't the massive drop in temperature tomorrow gonna make it all freeze and give y'all a slightly different headache to deal with?
Absolutely. A whole new set of warnings will be posted tomorrow.
I go to school in western Maryland and there’s been snow on the ground for almost a month
Bullet dodged. Besides today is the second day of winter so there's plenty of time for that sort of thing.
yeah i'd prefer 20 and heavy snow than this miserable mid 30s rain
I hear that instead of salt you guys use Old Bay on the roads. True?
We have too much respect for Old Bay to waste it like that 😤
We have lots! Areas all over the city where we pile snow and let it melt. The highway to nowhere is one of them.
Crazy huh?
And it’s going to freeze into black ice. Fucking great
Wishing for a white Christmas?
It’s Science… lol
Save it for r/baltimorecounty
Does it really not snow in Maryland much? Damn I’m moving to Frederick from GA and was hoping for at least a few good snow days lol.
The first known net positive function of the highway to nowhere.
Agreed. 😂 We’re hoping to be able to get some funding to do something else with it: https://transportation.baltimorecity.gov/news/press-releases/2022-10-21-giving-back-what-was-taken-west-baltimore-united-project-seeks-heal

I’m grateful for no snow, considering I like to risk my life and drive to and from work.
