A December home checklist is a list of things to do to make winter in your Baltimore home more comfortable and less stressful. Houzz created a list, which had some good ideas that became part of my list. My list goes more in depth for a number of things that would be good for Baltimore [...]
Baltimore fines for unshoveled sidewalks after snow are a little known fact, but an important one. Baltimore City ordinance states that sidewalks are to be cleared six hours after a snowstorm, per an article in the Baltimore Business Journal. Due to the magnitude of the snowstorm this time, though, there was an extension to the [...]
Baltimore is set for a potential big snow storm this weekend, if you look at many different weather websites. All factors seem to be pointing to a potentially "epic" storm, with sites comparing it to storms from 2010 (where we had two back-to-back storms of two feet accumulation each in one week.) According to my [...]
Anyone else tired of this view? In Towson, the snow didn't start until around 7am, but it has come down heavily and quickly since. We have at least 6-8" here (there should be a front step there to the right of my photo -- and the step had been cleared from our ice storm on [...]
Yesterday late afternoon and last night was a major thundersnow storm, with heavy snow, lightning and thunder. It was an incredible event. The snow was coming down so heavily that a large number of people had to abandon their cars on the way home, and others took about 9 hours to commute. Even snowplows got [...]
First, Happy Purple Monday! The Ravens are taking on the Houston Texans tonight, so my video this morning has me in my Joe Flacco jersey! Second, this morning's snow, as well as Friday's snow and last week's frigid temperatures had been thinking about how to make my Towson home ready for this winter. Hopefully we [...]
Well, of course, the snow is hurting the entire areas, but many homeowners are already having major issues with their homes due to this heavy snow and ice damming, and it appears a major amount of heavy snow may visit us tonight through tomorrow, freezing those gutters back up and re-creating problems. The other issue [...]
It looks like the beginning of next week will bring us more snow or ice, possibly mixed with rain or sleet. What does this mean for the Baltimore real estate market and Baltimore area homes? More trouble. In a city still in recovery mode from two blizzards last week, additional winter weather is not welcome [...]
As I showed condos today in the Stevenson area of Baltimore County, I was reminded of a few more issues that the snow/ice build up is causing to homes in the Baltimore area. As the weather warms some, and the snow melts, but then nights get cold and it freezes back up, large icicles can [...]
With Monday being President's Day, I don't think Towson school children will be wearing their pajamas inside out hoping for another snow day. They are already off school, and have been for a week now. We had two blizzards in one week, and now just 5 days after the last one left us, we could [...]
