About three inches on the ground now and maybe a half inch more by midnight. The local denizens are all in a panic.
At one time or another in seventy-seven years, I've wintered in just shy of twenty states from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Florida to Alaska, and nobody anywhere gets as panicky over snow as Baltimorons.
One winter day at the old Westinghouse Ordnance plant on US-1 in Lansdowne, artist Mario Mogavero walked through our area muttering "A foot of snow! A
foot of snow!" � and after pathological worry-wart Harry rushed out in a panic dash to a window, added " � an inch yesterday, an inch today, an inch tomorrow � "
What most impressed me when I wintered there was that Baltimoron drivers never learn how to brake or accelerate on snow or ice. And they get as many winters as anybody else gets.
