Jigsaw Puzzles and a Camera

About a month ago there was a power outage in Baltimore...Being Prepared in Baltimore Means Having a Generator!

That's when my daughter and I started doing jigsaw puzzles. Having a camera means not having to save the puzzles...just put them back in the box.

No Getting Through! No Wonder There is Power Outage In Baltimore!

No Getting Through! No Wonder There is Power Outage In Baltimore!

Friday in Baltimore after the temperatures were in the triple digits we had a tremendous storm.

These are the photos taken through my windshield when trying to check out one of my listings.

Could not get to the house due to the downed trees and wires. I was able to notify the out of town seller and a neighbor.

We do not think there was any damage to the house but BIG trees were down.

This is the blocked road on the way to the house. Notice the position of the telephone pole.

Power Outages in Baltimore! Treat Non Working Traffic Lights Like A Four Way Stop Sign!

Power Outages in Baltimore! Treat Non Working Traffic Lights Like A Four Way Stop Sign!

The Baltimore area along with the entire east coast has felt the effects of a major storm system yesterday.

We have lots of trees down, lots of wires down, lots of homes and business without power and debris all over Baltimore and the surrounding areas.

What we are finding is power outages...not only in homes, condos and business but also traffic lights. There has been an increase in accidents at  intersections with non functioning traffic lights.

Do you know the procedure when approaching a light that is out?

                                

  

        When approaching a non working traffic light..treat the intersection as though it was a 4 Way Stop Sign!

                                                              

I know you all knew this but please pass the word.

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.

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.
