Children sled, build snowmen as snow accumulated in Maryland
BALTIMORE – Scraping and shoveling were just about the only sounds at sunrise on Tuesday.
For many, about four inches of fresh snow was dumped in their neighborhoods.
While children were out of school, and many were playing in the snow, people were shoveling their driveways or walkways.
“I haven’t even had coffee yet,” Baltimore resident Dee Campbell said as she shoveled snow Tuesday morning. “I didn’t go to the gym today, so this is my workout.”
Children had enough snow to sled down the Patterson Park hill for the first time in two years.
“It was really difficult to explain to him all day (Monday) that it was not enough snow to go sledding, so we’re very happy it continued to snow,” Baltimore resident Rachel Nelson said about her son.
The snow on the ground was perfect for snowmen and snowballs.
Baltimore City and Baltimore County crews say they prioritized main roads and emergency routes before focusing on the neighborhoods.
“The main ones look OK, but still, because it’s like sleeting a little bit, it does seem a little bit slick,” Nelson said.
On the hill, Violet held onto an inflatable llama.
It was a core memory unlocked for another generation of Baltimore children.

Powerball jackpot grows to $1 billion as Maryland’s $1 million ticket winner awaits claim
WBFF — A Powerball ticket sold in Lanham has made one lucky player $1 million richer following Wednesday night’s drawing.
The ticket, which matched all five white balls but missed the red Powerball, is one of three significant wins in Maryland from the Dec. 10 drawing. The other two winning tickets include a $150,000 prize in Hughesville and a $50,000 prize in Bel Air.
The $1 million ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven located at 7730 Finns Lane in Lanham, Prince George’s County.
Meanwhile, the $150,000 ticket, which included the Power Play option, was sold at the Jameson-Harrison American Legion Post 238 in Hughesville, Charles County.
The $50,000 ticket was bought at Klein’s Shoprite on North Main Street in Bel Air, Harford County.
None of these winning tickets have been claimed yet, and the Maryland Lottery is urging winners to sign their tickets and store them safely. Prizes over $25,000 must be claimed by appointment at Lottery headquarters within 182 days of the drawing date.
The Powerball jackpot, which has not been won since Sept. 6, has now rolled over to an estimated annuity value of $1 billion, with a cash option of $461.3 million for the next drawing on Saturday night. This marks the seventh-largest jackpot since Powerball began in 1992.
