Overview

  • The machine, stationed in Lot O, can melt about 135 tons of snow per hour.
  • City crews are working around the clock, processing Lot O first before rotating through roughly a dozen dump sites.
  • Officials say this is Baltimore’s first use of a snow-melter since the 2016 storm.
  • Residents report narrowed lanes and icy piles that complicate driving, and the city urges 311 requests for targeted removal.
  • Stadium officials say the “Snowtorious B.I.G.” drains meltwater into the storm system and could operate through at least the end of February, with other lots opened for contractor staging and school staff parking.
