Jon's Newswriting

It is always a given that in the Mid-Atlantic region there will come a time for true 'winter weather,' we got just that in the Baltimore area early Tuesday morning to this current day. Even though it was not as bad as a Chicago snow storm is was bad enough. In Baltimore the main problem were the icy road conditions. Even though the roads were icy, the city did a good job in clearing and salting the main streets and traffic flow did the rest. On Tuesday night when the ice started I was out in about none-the-less, but as it got later and the ice started to freeze, you really had to put forth some caution. But mainly snow days for me are just lazy days around the house and nothing much else, unless it is truly needed I don't leave the apartment and just spend the day reading, watching T.V., or catching up on task that I had put on the back burner when the road condtions were not death traps. Another good thing about the bad weather, was a day off from school to relax. While not bad as Chicago or other areas anything below 50 in my book is bad enough.
