Snow Could Shut Down Maryland Highways
This morning Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley threatened to shut down his state’s highways due to the snowfall:
“The best we can do is keep one lane clear, even on the major highways,” said O’Malley, who has been traveling between two state emergency command centers. “If you don’t have a higher-riding four-wheel drive vehicle, you’re not going to be able to get over the ridges in the roads.”
Parts of Maryland report getting 30-inches of heavy, wet snow.
Midwest Airlines is waiving change fees for people flying through airports in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. They know it’s going to take a while to dig out.
As for me, I’m going through my music library finding appropriate songs:
- “By-Tor and the Snow Dog” by Rush
- “Frequency 019″ by DJ Snow
- “Hands Open” by Snow Patrol
I’ll try to get out of the house later, see how bad it is around me, and take some pictures.

Not The Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin?
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming
