So far, so good on the rain. There may have
been a bit of precipitation overnight, but skies are blue this
morning. We are under a Flood Watch from the National Weather
Service from Thursday night to Sunday night.
Absolutely wonderful skiing yesterday. Bright sun. Temps
in the 50's. Shell jacket. Gloves off. Very nice! |

Still loving this sunshine, but it looks like it ends
today. Rain is expected to arrive overnight and continue
through Saturday. The chance for precipitation remains through
Sunday and Monday, but we could have some snow mixed in.
Here's hoping all our trees have a tendency toward binge drinking!
Lots
of snowmobilers out on the lake the past few days. Perhaps
taking advantage of what may be their last opportunity for the
season.
Alpine Village Inn was auctioned off on Friday for $900,000.

Wow, what a weekend! Nothing but blue skies,
starry nights and singing birds!
It
is looking like we'll get some rain later in the week and into the
weekend. This, of course, brings the chance for some flooding.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen. |

More sunshine today! That's two days of
sunshine in March with more to come. I believe we only had two
whole days of sun in all of February, so this is a welcome change.
Temps did reach above the freezing mark yesterday and although I
didn't notice much runoff, the snow definitely settled quite a bit.
Things froze again last night and we'll get a bit more thaw today.
Perfect!
Here is a story about a new book investigating the use of drugs
by the CIA for mind control experiments in the 50's. Yes, Deep
Creek Lake is involved.
You
can now become a fan of Deep Creek Times on
Facebook. (I don't know how to
send you the link, but if you are a member just search for Deep
Creek Times and become a fan!) I still expect your visit here, too,
though. :-) |

Just a dusting of snow overnight and a bit of blue
skies today. Just a bit, but we'll take it! Still a chance for
some lingering snow showers before the clouds clear out for the
weekend. Yippeee!
Only two county schools closed today and the rest
went ON TIME! It's a miracle!
Bill's Marine Service is sponsoring a snowmobile drag race this

News release posted on the Latest
News regarding a lake drawdown. Muy importante! Especially
if you venture on the lake!
12:30 p.m.
Tossing out my second "whatever"
of the day.
11:15 a.m.
Here is a video news story about Garrett County. Very
cool!
11:00 a.m.
More snow. About 3 inches. Whatever!
All local schools were on a two-hour delay this
morning, but 5 are closed completely to allow for snow removal on
the roofs. Boy, I would hate to be the person that has to
figure out the school schedule.
The weekend is looking marvelous with sunny skies and
temps above freezing!

Just got word that structural engineers are
inspecting a few of our locals schools to assure the safety of the
roofs. Another factor in our school cancellations.
9:30 a.m.
Another day of, thankfully, not a lot of snow and
another day of no school in Garrett County. Crews are working
feverishly to widen back roads to allow safe passage for the school
buses.
Another weather event is expected in the mid-Atlantic
tonight, but Accuweather is calling this one a "yawner."
What's a couple more inches, right? Ugh!
The rolling marquee at State Farm in Oakland reads:
and this too shall melt. Funny, but that is what scares
me.
The commissioners will not be holding their Tuesday
public meeting this week.
Deep Creek is mentioned in
this Washington Post article on vacation homes (pg. 3)

The National Guard
arrived yesterday! The release suggests they will be
used to aid emergency personnel, but I think we can find a load of
other things to do, as well. Roof collapses are,
unfortunately, becoming more and more frequent.
The
dunk was well attended considering the weather on Friday. I
heard there were about 300 dunkers and it was FREEZING out of the
water. Don't even want to think about in it! I talked to
a few people who made the trek in on Friday -- not heeding the
advice to stay home, obviously -- and they said is was awful.
No
school again today in Garrett County. Shocker!
