Would have been nice if 2 of the 3 could actually send price estimates so I could have had the repairs done before our 5th heavy rain event in the last month… And of course as soon as you get the repairs done the Nino firehose will shut off and we'll go bone dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It has been pouring snow out here this morning. Crazy situation. The western half of Frederick county has picked up about 1.5-2” of snow while about 5 air miles away closer to Winchester has only rain. 50 and 522 are a mess. Areas to the sw near New Market are a mess as well. I81 north is completely shut at Mew Market. Here’s a cam from 522 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUsedToHateCold Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Why are schools closing for a rain/wind storm? I ask honestly. While 55MPH gusts are no joke, and can cause power outages, we usually have a few days per year with winds like that and its not normally a problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other MD counties though are mostly follow the leader. You underestimate the number of creeks and low lying roads in the other counties.

Generally I’d think the majority of those days would be from summer storms when school isn’t in session. I think the more apt comparison here is closing due to hurricane/tropical storm remnants moving through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'm plotting my storm chase for this evening. I'm going to start out at Bacon Ridge. It's AA county's mountain range. Then I'll head to downtown Annopoils. From there I'm thinking Chesapeake Beach. I'll take back roads home from there. I just hope I'm not running weed plants into my house in pitch black due to power outages. I'm thinking about evacuating my plants from my greenhouse before the big gust. School is closing because society is soft as f*ck. I remember trees falling on the kids at my bus stop. The ones that got missed dragged the kids that got hit onto the bus. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know where that is, so I'm relatively untriggered by it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criteria for closing schools has changed drastically over the decades. My mom told me in the 1960's school would be open with a foot of fresh snow on the ground. When I was in school in the 1990's, it took about 6 inches to close school. Today a squirrel farts wrong and schools close. As to the reason why, my guess is heightened liability issues. Its just easier to make it up at the end of the year than opening yourself up to lawsuits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate square pizza slices and drank kool aid until the local red necks rescued us. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 FCPS MD just announced a 3 hr early dismissal. Just picked my youngest up, she only has one block at the HS this semester as she had dual enrollment. I am glad they did this though. The last time we had a system come through back in 2021 there were Elementary kids who took busses stranded at their schools due to flooding on the routes. Also don't think I would want my kid on a high profile cheese wagon in the projected winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I work from home most of the time so the 2.5 hour early Moco dismissal is NBD... but feeling for those elementary parents who get notice of a dismissal at 120pm.

katabatic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I just measured 6.8 inches in MLP. Steady, heavy snow all morning although the dreaded pingers have started to hit the window in the last few minutes. But what a beautiful surprise. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
