I saw a report on the local TV station at noon that stated that Baltimore has 65.5 inches of snow so far this year. A larger amount than Chicago or Buffalo NY. This is one record I'd gladly not have been a part of.
Measured in my back yard 34 inches from the first storm and just over 12 inches from this storm and it's still snowing. The wind has picked up and they're saying it's blowing at about 20 mph with gust to 35. They're also saying later this afternoon, winds could gust to 60 mph.
A power outage is my biggest concern along with roof colapse.
We had a firehouse in town have it's roof collapse, then started a fire. All equipment in the building was lost. Luckily the roof over the residence part of the building did not collapse, so no one was injued. However 2 paramedic unit and 2 fire trucks were destroyed. Also a military humvee was lost. A National Guard unit was dispatched to help them get to homes that are still snowed in during the first storm and was still there last night.
It could have much worse!
