ReplyDeleteGreat....no school next week!
ReplyDeleteThis one is looking more like rain :)
ReplyDeleteany idea how much snow the salisbury area is supposed to get? My friend in Baltimore said they are being told 24" to 50" are possible. They are calling it the perfect storm.
ReplyDelete5:38,
ReplyDeleteThey are exaggerating a little there. Baltimore is suppose to see around 18-24 and we will probably see 4-8. At least that is what the storm is saying right now, could always change.
Mother Nature's a fickle woman. We'll have to see what happens. A slight change in the track could make a big difference one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteWe'll know more Thurs night or Fri. Do your stocking up now folks. And other prep. Don't forget the animals and old people near you.
ReplyDeletehope nobody has any tickets to civic center again! lol.
ReplyDeleteWhen real snow comes, I wonder if the Wic BOE will regret closing school for those two days before the Christmas break for a "dusting" and again today. Today merited a two-hour delay, at best. Ridiculous! The only thing left to work with are two professional days in March and May before the kids celebrate the last day of school close to the July 4th holiday. Start hacking away at the Easter break.
ReplyDeleteUnless we're down in the low to mid 20's when the storm starts, the ocean and bay air will combine to warm us up to a slush storm, if not all rain. Gotta live north of Salisbury to get the big one this time.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature is laying it on this year.....no worry for drought this summer that is for sure!
ReplyDeleteEverytime they predict a big storm all we get on the eastern shore is rain and i bet that is all we get this weekend too!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 8:36 pm I have tickets to the Cabaret show on Saturday . I am excited about going , however if it snow up to my as@ I will not complain about the ticket price !!!
ReplyDeleteBoonies wont be the same Friday night if we get snowed in and cant go { well have to make it a spend the nite club} wanta come?
ReplyDeleteJoe, It looks like a BIG one coming what do you think?
ReplyDeletelatest news from an inside source at NOAA: 35-45mph sustained winds, gusts to 65mph, uncertain if snow or rain, expect 48" to 84" if snow, 16" to 20" if rain. Storm is expected to stall over portions of Salisbury, Maryland where it will draw moisture from the WWTP and continue as one major s--t storm for the residents of this city. Voluntary evacuation is advised....Updated 23:00 3 Feb 2009
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a record year of this stuff.
ReplyDeletelets have everyone crying now about cancellations and road crew cause i am tired of hearing it u all are a bunch of wimps round here mr disaroon get that plow ready god bless u
ReplyDeleteWhy not skip the Presidents Day holiday and have school. Presidents Day is just a retailers scam anyway.
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye out for heavy spraying in the atmosphere attempting to ward off the system.
ReplyDeleteThey sprayed very heavily prior to the last snow.
