The National Weather Service seems to be avoiding the subject of Ice, but if you will look at the Accuweather forecast, and note the temps involved, and consider that the ground is snow-covered, we need to be ready for FREEZING RAIN.
Tuesday, Feb 9:
Mostly cloudy with a coating to an inch of snow and rain late in the afternoon
High: 37 °F RealFeel®: 42 °F
Tuesday Night, Feb 9:
Breezy; snow, sleet, and freezing rain in the evening, 1-3" followed by a bit of snow late
Low: 28 °F RealFeel®: 17 °F
Wednesday, Feb 10:
Snow, accumulating an additional 1-3 inches; windy, cold with blowing and drifting snow
High: 35 °F RealFeel®: 17 °F
Wednesday Night, Feb 10:
A bit of snow in the evening; clouds breaking, windy
Low: 26 °F RealFeel®: 6 °F
As always, the storm track is everything-- though it looks like we will escape the heavy snow, be ready for the possibility of trees and power lines icing up, and maybe some long power outages, especially since they're still trying to get things fixed from the last storm.
Rain on top of the snow will give us more heavy, frozen slush to deal with, too-- watch the roof loading. If it warms up enough Tuesday, it would be wise to get the big drifts off the rooftops if possible.
The good news: only about 40 more days till spring.. :-)

SALISBURY, Md. - On Tuesday, the latest in the case being built against Thomas Leggs, Jr. will be announced.

Sorry Folks
Between clearing out driveways and the bad road conditions, today's show just didn't happen. Maybe I'll make it up with a show tomorrow, we'll see. Thanks for understanding.WBOC's Jennifer Foxwell Story
"Joe,
I’d like to get your honest opinion on something. And I’m not looking for the limelight here by getting this posted on your blog. WBOC has been ramming it down my/our throats for about a week now of their “exclusive” interview with Sarah Foxwell’s mother. Ok… I can get with the fact that they’ve interviewed her. And I can even understand why she might want to be interviewed. BUT… the commercials have now changed. It’s the way they’re selling it now Joe that sickens me. WBOC is using this “anticipation” angle, playing on the fact that Sarah wasn’t living with her mother. The news anchors are playing it all up, then saying “tune in if you want to find out”. I just don’t like that… so much so that I’m not even going to watch the interview. Is it just me? Or is WBOC playing the public for ratings? Am I off base here?"

Rep. John Murtha, Iraq War Critic, Dies At 77
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Rep. John Murtha, the tall, gruff-mannered former Marine who became the de facto voice of veterans on Capitol Hill and later an outspoken and influential critic of the Iraq War, died Monday. He was 77. The Pennsylvania Democrat had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., spokesman Matthew Mazonkey said.
In 1974 Murtha, then an officer in the Marine Reserves, became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress. Ethical questions often shadowed his congressional service, but he was best known for being among Congress' most hawkish Democrats. He wielded considerable clout for two decades as the ranking Democrat on the House subcommittee that oversees Pentagon spending.
Murtha voted in 2002 to authorize President George W. Bush to use military force in Iraq, but his growing frustration over the administration's handling of the war prompted him in November 2005 to call for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops.
"The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion," he said.
Murtha's opposition to the Iraq war rattled Washington, where he enjoyed bipartisan respect for his work on military issues. On Capitol Hill, Murtha was seen as speaking for those in uniform when it came to military matters.

ALL MUNICIPALITIES NEED YOUR HELP
Folks, the amount of calls coming into Eastern Shore Fire Departments are just unbelievable.
That being said, one of the major problems they're having right now is, they cannot locate Fire Hydrants!
If YOU have a Fire Hydrant on your property, please, either clear the way around it or place a broom handle where the Hydrant is located so the Fire Departments can at least locate them.
Mind you, it would be great if you could clear the way so they don't freeze up but if you can't, please mark them in order to help them out.
Thank You!
