For December. The winner and still champion in DC is the Knickerbocker
Storm of January 1922. Some of the edits on that page are mine. I see
someone has "corrected" me, and I'll have to remove his error. For some
reason, people think it's the "Knickerbocker Theater," when it's actually
the "Knickerbocker Theatre." All they have to do is look at the pictures.

WBAL is coming in, for the first time since I don't know when, and their
weather person just announced that the record storm for Baltimore
happened on February 15-18, 2003, with  snowfall of 28.2". I think that's
the one that caused the roof of the B&O Museum roundhouse to collapse.

Channel 9 said that Alexandria received 14.5".

Channel 11 is RF channel 11 as well. I wonder if the storm will give us
some good DXing. Channel 13 is coming in too, but not as well as 13.
That's odd, as I thought they shared an antenna. Equipment here: Zenith
DTT-901, rabbit ears. 110 feet ASL.
