An online Washington Post article mentioned that the roof collapsed at the B&O Museum in Baltimore, but did not give much in the way of details. Baltimore had received up to two feet of snow in the latest storm.

last thing we heard on the local news last night (2-18) was that 3/4 of the lower roof over the roundhouse, not the cupola, had caved in due to the weight of the snow that had fallen. story went on to say that the collapse would be investigated, as the roof was designed to withstand heavy snowfall. unknown at this time the extent of damage to exhibits and rolling stock inside, although i understand that they are soliciting donations for repairs.
