When would yall say the optimal time to walk just north of Baltimore would be? Tempted to go now, but I’d really like to try to time it with the best rates before the changeover

2.5-3”.  It’s stunning out there. Should make a run past 5” I’d imagine.

Gorgeous out there, 2.5” - just finished a Jebwalk and shoveling the driveway and front steps.  Came back in to warm up and about to hit another Jerbwalk with this next band.

Come on baby

20008 eh, mine was 20016 before they changed the system. It then became 20816. For the first 12 years of my life my address was "Washington, 16 D.C." despite living on the Maryland side of Mass. Ave. That was because Friendship Heights was the nearest post office. Zip Codes were created in 1963.
