      Last month's Notes   

      

Friday February 3
9:30 a.m.

Sunshine today, but clouds will roll in overnight.  A chance for some rain or snow tomorrow.  Here's hoping it falls snow.

Snow guns were on this morning at Wisp (and overnight, I assume).

The land use management ordinance work session originally planned for Tuesday February 7 at 11:00 AM will be rescheduled for Tuesday February 14 at 1:30 PM.   The public is welcome to attend and listen to the review of the draft ordinance.  Questions should be addressed to John Nelson, Director, Department of Planning & Land Development or Monty Pagenhardt, County Administrator.

Here's some good news from the county. 

Did you know you can adopt an animal at the Discovery Center?  Learn more here. 

Subaru Master the Mountain going on this weekend at Wisp.  Also, a Super Bowl Saturday at Garrett College.  $5 gets you into a basketball game and then access to the pool at CARC. 

Interesting note, today was "The Day the Music Died".  February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper died in a plane crash.  And, you're welcome, for putting that song in your head for the rest of the day.  :-)
Thursday February 2
9:30 a.m.

Six more weeks of winter according to Punxsutawney Phil.  More?  Did I miss the first part?

This is what February 1 is supposed to look like.  (taken in 2010)

The fog that settled in last night has lifted and skies are cloudy.  Neat fog last night.  Looking out, you could barely see 50 yards.  Looking up, the stars and moon shined brightly. 

The airtimes for Getting Away Together are here.  Closest market is Wheeling, WV.  What the heck?  Contact your local PBS stations and ask for it to be added.  It does look like eventually full episodes are aired on the website, but we need more TV coverage to spread the word. 

Interesting Super Bowl slideshow on the Times-News site.  1.25 billion wings?  That's a lot of heartburn!

Wednesday February 1
12:00 p.m.

Here are the commissioners' updates for December 2011 and January 2012.

9:00 a.m.

A little rain overnight and the likelihood of more of the way.  Another day in the 50's too. Somehow I think that Groundhog Day will be a bit anticlimactic this year. 

Stole this from Angie Bosley's Facebook page.  Taken yesterday.  Crocus popping up.  *sigh*

Here is the teaser for the Deep Creek Lake episode of Getting Away Together.  Can't wait to see the entire episode!   Check your local PBS listings and we will certainly provide information as it becomes available for local showings. 

The Local is celebrating its one-year anniversary tomorrow night with the Honi House Band.  Party starts at 7:30 (One year, already?) 

National Signing Day today.   Mountain Ridge's (Frostburg)  Jarrod Harper has signed with the WV Mountaineers.  Welcome to the family, Jarrod!
