The Great Baltimore Snow Hoax
Let's get one thing straight: Baltimoreans love to complain about the snow. It's like a rite of passage. Every flake that dares to touch the ground is met with cries of "Oh my gosh, it's like Siberia out there!" and "I'm never leaving my house again!" But here's the kicker: compared to some other cities, Baltimore is practically a tropical paradise during winter.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
On average, Baltimore gets around 21.1 inches of snow per year. That's right, folks, just over a foot and a half of the white stuff. Now, don't get me wrong, that's enough to cause a city-wide panic, but it's hardly enough to build an igloo or go sledding down a mountain.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Snowfall: The Rollercoaster of Emotions
Baltimore's snowfall is as unpredictable as a toddler's mood. One year, we'll get dumped on with a foot of snow in November, and the next year, we'll be lucky to see a snowflake. It's like Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on us.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.

And let's not forget about the infamous "snowpocalypse" predictions. You know the ones: the meteorologists go on TV, waving their hands around dramatically and declaring that we're about to be buried alive in snow. Then, the big day arrives, and we get a dusting. It's enough to make you question your sanity (and the meteorologist's forecasting abilities).
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
