Chicago has been stopped by snow briefly three times max in the 47 yrs I have been here. Baltimore is not equipped for snow like NYC or the major Northern cities but it managed to play a home game against the Bears after last years blizzard..

There’s photos of the game and stadium on nfl.com (Dec 20, 2009 - Week 15). Took a small army to clear the stadium but it was done.

Baltimore has learned how to remove snow since they had riots in the storm of ‘78. Nice 18” or so, I came back two days after the storm over dry roads in PA. Took us a day just to shovel out up there. Got to Baltimore and it looked like they were still passing the only snow shovel in the state around.

We got hit with a record snowstorm early this year, the cost was high but they kept the roads open. They started using concrete trucks for plows and ran the regular trucks almost nonstop for two days.

It was one of those snows where the “pushers” can’t clear the parking lots, you need a front end loader.
