Frist Real Snow Day

After several snow predictions and a few inches here and there, Baltimore got its first real snow storm of the winter today.  Co-workers were urged to get to work early and bring an extra set of clothing as they might be forced to stay longer than their 12 hour shift.  Thankfully this was my weekend off, so I spent much of it curled up under a blanket, watching Netflix.  On days like this I wish I had a fireplace.  Until then I will have to think of pictures like this one. 

The city  urged people to stay home and off the streets.  Thankfully I live within walking distance of a grocery store, coffee shop and farm to table restaurant so that was no problem for me.  Feeling a bit of cabin fever early in the afternoon (these things to happen when weather conditions are not optimal), I decided to layer up and head over to Parts and Labor to grab some lunch.  Just outside their restaurant I found some great graffiti. 

Also, what's a better way to spend a snow day than to eat a delicious sandwich and to wash it down with some local beer?

Baltimoreans posted everything from "sarcastic tweets to serene Instagram photos."  A friend took this picture at a DC bar and it pretty much sums up how many of us are feeling about this winter.  Seriously, when is the thermometer going to climb above 25 degrees?

When all was said and done measurements showed the city got upwards of nine inches.  Thankfully it is supposed to climb into the 40s tomorrow.  Fingers crossed, a good amount of snow melts before the cold weather sets in again.
