Winter Storm Warning: A Guide to Staying Safe and Informed, kinda

OMG, a powerful winter storm hit Baltimore! It’s crazy out there, hazardous conditions everywhere. This article’s gonna give you the lowdown, hopefully. I tried my best to get all the info, but you know how these things go.

The Storm’s Impact

As of January 6th, 2025, the National Weather Service, or whatever they call themselves, issued a Winter Storm Warning. It’s supposed to last ’til Tuesday, January 7th, at like 1:00 a.m. [1] We got, like, 4+ inches of snow already! [1] Seriously, it’s a blizzard out there! The roads and sidewalks are total ice rinks. Don’t even THINK about driving unless you absolutely have to. [1]

City Response: Keeping You Safe (ish)

The Baltimore City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) – they’re all over it, I guess. Over 400 snow crews are out there, trying their best. [1] The mayor, that Scott guy, declared a State of Emergency. Good for him, I guess. They’re trying, bless their hearts. [1]

Travel and Transportation: Good Luck!

City’s opening two hours late on Tuesday, January 7th. [3] Before you even think about going anywhere, check the news, social media – you know, the usual suspects. And that city snow page, snow.baltimorecity.gov. [1] Seriously, plan your route. Or, you know, just stay home. It’s probably safer.

Health and Safety: Stay Warm, People!

Code Blue’s extended. [1] Seriously, stay warm! Check on your neighbors, especially the old folks and anyone who might need help. My grandma’s already stocked up on hot chocolate, so I’m good.
