FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Got snow? It’s a rarity at Christmas in Baltimore. If you run the numbers, I’m told, Baltimore has just a 6 percent chance of measurable snowfall on Dec. 25. There’s a 13 percent chance of having snow on the ground; last year was one. We’ve had just six Christmas Days since 1892 when Santa has brought an inch of snow or more. The biggest Dec. 25 snowfall was the 9.3 inches that fell in 1909. The biggest Christmas Eve storm brought 8.4 inches, in 1966. Let it snow!
