There’s snow doubt about it: Baltimore knows how to make the most of winter weather.
After Winter Storm Fern dropped nearly a foot of snow and ice on the region, many schools and workplaces were closed for much of the week.
Baltimore families enjoyed the break by ice skating on frozen lakes, to sledding down hills, to building igloos, and more.
Maggie Jones captured snowy scenes from the week in this photo gallery:
