Wait! They are giving us more than 24 hours notice. Since the last few storms were forecast last minute, I'm sure this one will change again before Wed.
They've put themselves in a win win situation by not committing to any exact scenario or anything even close.I think we all know that we may or may not get snow,duh.
Changes by the hour.
yep and Wicomico county can't wait. Will be plowed up and ready to go. I forgot their out of salt. A 2 or 3 week delay that's just what this county needs. You bet your last $ come July taxes are going to go thru the roof. Its time to pay the Piper. Oh yea put that in your pipe and smoke it.
The County is out of salt?
Saw them out throwing 'cold patch' into potholes in Beaglin Park and College Ave. Didn't see anyone tamping. When I came by later could hear the stones kicking up even though I stayed off the patch. Not even a good band-aid.
This will be a 'non-event'!
