Ocean City will be expecting increased tidal flooding in the south end of town beginning at 1 p.m.; please avoid this area today.
Someone needs to let some business owners know that its time to close!! No way they can have any business in these conditions and not to mention anything about employee safety!!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it Anon 1:37pm. Our PD and FD are being run ragged because of this. It's not like this wasn't broadcast for the past few days so unless it's an emergency no one should be out! No one's going to starve to death from now until tomorrow when things will most likely be better.
ReplyDeleteThe OC streets which were covered with slush a few hours ago are completely white now. It's snowing pretty hard and is swirling down. It's still windy but I don't think as bad as it was.
