Power Outages in Baltimore...Call 1-877-778-2222 - Don't assume BGE Knows

This is a power line in Baltimore covered with wet heavy snow. And this weight is what is causing the power outages all over our area. This winter beauty also brings with it danger.



These two articles are from  last year's Baltimore blizzard...

How I Will Remember the Baltimore Blizzard of 2010

Shack Wacky Baltimore Neighborhood Freed by a Bobcat!

This is my neighbor Moishe Reches who knocked on my door a few minutes ago asking to shovel my steps and driveway. I was all ready to go out and start up the snow blower and make use of my shovel...already outside the door.

Moshe took my ready shovel and began his much appreciated work. Take a look at that blue vehicle..another neighbor whose car is now stuck in the street.

Thank you Moishe for  your kindness and hard work!

Only a mile away, my daughter's condo has no power. No power means no electricity, no stove, no microwave, no heat, no lights and even more important NO INTERNET CONNECTION. She was able to dig her way to the car to recharge her iPhone. How in the world could I be stuck in the house with no connection. That would also mean NO ActiveRain! Guess we could all go snuggle.

One More Photo Tonight...Heavy Snow

Had to take one more photo tonight just to show you the weight of the snow.

                                       

Our weather today in Baltimore was most unusual.  This morning snow, then clear, then rain, then sleet, then heavy snow and the latest is wind. These are the branches of my shade tree that also hold three bird feeders. That is a lot of weight... as you can see the branches are down on my porch chair.

This is a serious problem with power lines. Please check this information below from BGE.
