FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Baltimore’s snow season is officially open. Okay, it’s not official, just my say-so. But Saturday marked the date of the earliest snowfall on record for Baltimore – a trace that fell Oct. 9, 1903.
Plenty of Marylanders remember the earliest measurable snow on record. It was the 0.3-inch mess that fell on Oct. 10, 1979, postponing Game 1 of the World Series at Memorial Stadium, between the Orioles and the Pirates.
The deepest October snow was 2.5 inches, on Oct. 30, 1925.
