Gurgle: 58 degrees at BWI
Just three days out from one of the coldest days of the winter - and certainly the snowiest - Baltimore enjoyed an afternoon high today of 58 degrees. You can hear the snow gurgling down the gutters and drains all across the region. It was no threat to the records. It was 76 degrees on this date in 1954.
The next two days should be just as mild as today. It could even burst into the 60s on Friday. And it's all good. The more snow and ice we get rid of now, the less there will be to refreeze this weekend and on Presidents' Day next week, when we're likely to see temperatures as much as 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. The coldest air of the winter is en route from the arctic. The transition will be sharp and quick enough to crack your teeth.
Not really.
