I have found, over the past 11 years of living in North Baltimore, that this part of the area is generally too far south for the northern tier events, and too far north for those marginal events that get the DC and south folks tingling. Baltimore City is in a weird spot for marginal events where it is very hard for us to pad stats - we almost always need legit area-wide snowfalls to score. One of the reasons that Maestro prob comes off as so frustrated in these parts.
Long way of me expressing my annual jealousy and admiration for your living in Parkton and scoring when it is rain just to your south...
