Today, well, one look outside and you can clearly see the conditions are looking similar to last year and once again WBOC called for a light dusting and we called for this storm more than a week ago to hit us right after Christmas.
Yeah, call it luck or whatever you like. All I can tell you is, we have hit each one of these storm right on the mark and you better believe I'm going to take credit for it. Yes, we called it back on the 15th, 11 days ago HERE.
Now, lets get more serious about it. I have been out in this storm since very early this morning and I just returned home 20 minutes ago. It's REALLY BAD out there. Honest to God, there wasn't a snow plow, (state owned) in either Delaware or Maryland up until just after 1 PM today.
There are many cars off the roads and into ditches and quite honestly there are plenty of vehicles driving up and down Rt 13 acting as if there's been no snow fall at all and this is very6 dangerous. Underneath the top layer of snow is slush, (if the road isn't completely packed with snow to the pavement. To try to stop on that slush is just impossible. That is, unless you're driving 5 to 10 mph and you start to stop quite a ways from lets say a traffic light and so forth.
So please, be very careful out there and if you don't need to go out, DON'T! They're calling for around 18" of snow at this point, could be more, we'll see. I'm spending the rest of my day tuning up my snow blower.
Way to be on top of this storm Easter Shore, NOT!

Caroline and Talbot Counties have been declared states of emergency. Only emergency vehicles allowed.
I heard Tangier Outlets were closing at 3. They need to go ahead and shut everything down now and get people off the roads.
SHA had a snow plow on Nanticoke Road at 11 this morning...I was taking care of elder parent and uncle in the trailor park on Nanticoke Road. Just to give them credit....one was a SHA and the other was a paid contractor they were doing the entire one side of highway at a time
There were county and state plows out last night at 11pm salting the roads. I followed one plow down Camden Ave, another plow turned up Carroll St towards the hospital. They were out doing what they could to prevent ice buildup. Let's give a little credit where it's due.
Didnt WBOC tell us 2 days ago that it wasnt going to snow...or maybe a dusting? Where do these idiots get their weather forcasts?
Thanks Tom Kierein from NBC !!
If you do go out and drive, turn your lights on idiots! My God, visibility is very bad and so many cars are riding around with no lights on. Then there are the ones with snow covering their brake lights and headlights. Make sure all these are clear so other drivers can see you and whether or not your turning or stopping.
WMDT called it right
Ill give them credit when the smoke clears. Plowing snow and salting is what they are supposed to be doing, isnt it?? I give em credit but if you cant take the heat dont be a cook.
Delmar weather advised this was going to be a big storm. With a foot or more snow with heavy wind conditions. Wboc what a joke a light dusting. Really.

They figure it's daytime and don't need their lights on? Or they will burn out their headlights for excessive use?
If cops start giving out tickets maybe they will get a clue.
Drove by the Civic Center about 3pm and there were 6 county plows clearing the parking lot. I guess the roads were not more important than basketball. I wish they never plowed my road. They did a horrible job.
