Earlier today I mentioned the new lights in the trees at Charles Center. Here are a couple of photos taken just a short while ago.
Our 7.5 million-dollar front yard is special. Who could ask for anything more? And, we don't have to mow the grass, water the trees or clean the snow on the walk ways.
If you visited this blog last winter, then you know that we love the snow. And, this year we need it more than ever. On a practical level, with the ground water shortage on the eastern seaboard so very low, I'd be happy to see it snow all winter. On a personal level... It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas! I'll let a couple of photos say the rest.
Beautiful from inside our house.
The new Charles Center park could not look more set for the holidays.
There are tiny Christmas lights in all of the trees. Come to City Center and visit our front yard!
The winter of 2006/2007 looks like it's going to be a tad shy on decent snowfall. Yes, there were predictions of six inches or more for this storm in our area. My favorite weather optimist at Accuweather promised twelve.
It began snowing slowly over Charles Center around 7AM - tiny little flakes. By 11AM it was beginning to look promising - big fluffy ones. By early afternoon this is all we had to show for the effort.
So, it appears that what we may get is a just a serious layer of ice. And since the professionals don't seem to have a clue at this hour, I'm off to explore other issues.
There's always next year. And yes, Mayor D'Alesandro deserves a better photo. (Sorry Nancy.)
Henry Margusity is AccuWeather.com's Sr. Meteorologist and Severe Weather Expert and he's just posted a forcast map and a video outlining his snow forcast for 21201.
Check out his FULL REPORT.
And, let's not forget that Accuweather was right on target for last February's big snow. And, they called that storm early.
Fingers crossed, everyone?
We're still waiting for a decent snowfall this winter.
Meantime, there have been a few really intense (but far too brief) show showers. This afternoon around 5PM...
And, last Thursday, the 25th...
The wait continues. We really do deserve one of Baltimore's famous snow days.
