Winter in Baltimore: Panic!
Image by Cayusa
Day 348 of 365
We are currently under a winter storm watch here in Maryland. They are predicting a wintery mix and have even called for ice pellets. Accumulation could be anywhere from 3″ to nothing. Of course that doesn’t matter to the average Baltimorean. Even the hint of snow or ice in the forecast throws the average Baltimoreon into a tizzy and they hit the grocery stores in force. By the end of the night preceding the winter event there is hardly a gallon of milk, toilet paper or bread to be found.
I’ve never understood this behavior. I’ve lived most of my life and all of my adult life and I can’t recall a time when my very survival was threatened due to a lack of any of those three products. I mentioned this behavior before in my photos, but having experienced it again today I just had to mention it again. It is a behavior I have never understood and I don’t think I ever will.
Mysteries of the Forecast: What Are Ice Pellets?
I mentioned above that I’ve lived here most of my life and all of my adult life. In all those years I don’t think I have ever heard a forecast that included “ice pellets.” What is an ice pellet? How is it different than hail or frozen rain or sleet. All I can think of when I hear that term is icy precipitation that looks like rabbit droppings. I guess I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to see what exactly an ice pellet really is.
Artistic Reflections in Baltimore Life Photos: Sum Quod Eris

A still life based on elements found in one of the cases of the Collector’s Study at The Walters Art Museum.
The title comes from the Latin “Sum quod eris, fui quod es” meaning “As you are, I was. As I am, you will be.”
