From the archives: Snowfall in December 1960
More than 50 years ago in 1960, snow fell across Baltimore for the first snow day of the year, one that struck early in the season on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12. The snowfall left about a foot of snow in western Maryland as well as 14 inches at Baltimore and Greenbelt.

For a region accustomed to fizzled snow forecasts in recent years, a storm dumping as much as 8 inches of snow across northern Maryland surprised many on Sunday, stalling vehicles, canceling the city’s annual holiday parade and blanketing the field at M&T Bank Stadium for the Ravens’ first snow game in Baltimore. And then, it dumped more snow on Tuesday.
