Occupy Baltimore hunkered down through Nor’easter
"I'm more worried about the winter than I am the mayor."
Occupy Baltimore was a soggy scene Saturday in the rain, and sometimes snow, produced by a Nor’easter blowing through the Mid-Atlantic.

In the relentless Saturday rain, we visited Occupy Baltimore to see how they were doing after a morning of “wintry mix” (i.e., wet snow) and a night of intermittently pounding rain and temperatures in the high 30s.
Most were apparently huddled in the tents, though a few were out at the food tent, eating donated pizza and talking to passersby.
“It was pretty horrible out here l
ast night,” said William Kutschbach, a Vietnam vet who has been sleeping in the back fountain area at McKeldin Square. Kutschbach said he didn’t get too wet and stays warm with a quilt and a moving blanket.
Kutschbach bummed a light from Vince Rogalski, a research coordinator at Johns Hopkins who has been supporting Occupy, though not sleeping there.
We asked Rogalski if he worries about the city pushing the “occupiers” out, and he gestured toward the windy, rainy scene around him.
