The MDP photoquarters was one of the many (some reports have said upwards of 190k) places that lost power over the weekend. In the middle of the powerless day and a half, as the snow just stopped falling and the sun was just setting, lower temperatures began to move in, bringing with them clear skies and this photo opportunity.
An explaination of today’s title:
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Baltimore area weather reporting, during storms of this magnitude, school districts can usually be closed or delayed at the county level. However, there is frequently a caveat for the Hereford zone, a massive chunk of northern Baltimore county serviced by a single high school.

Glad your power is back, MDP! A lot of people here lost power, but we were lucky and didn’t.
I think everyone in Pittsburgh knows the names of the school districts alphabetically before theirs for this reason. I still get excited when I hear “Moon Township-closed… Mount Lebanon-closed…”

Since when does Pittsburgh control the Moon?
