More Structural Peril

The VFW is only one of many buildings experiencing damage from the weight of 40 inches of snow. Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Edgewood will not have mass this weekend because the roof of the hall is in bad shape. Prince of Peace is not the only church being inspected for damage. We'll keep you posted.

Roof Collapse

Got a report that the American Legion in Edgewood had its roof collapse and the building has been condemned. We'll update if we hear more.

ABC2 Reporting in Edgewood

If you're looking for Harford County coverage, ABC 2 has a reporter stationed near the Denny's in Edgewood doing live stand-ups. It's amazing, to us at least, all the folks still driving on MD 24. And not just pick ups and SUVs, smaller cars. The reporter said that people were going to Denny's and also to the Exxon there, which he said was low on fuel.
If you don't have to be out, don't be. There are people who need to be out: police, firefighters and medical workers who need to get into work. Do them a favor and if you're just out joyriding, stay home.

Blizzard Part 2

Parts of Abingdon were without power around Box Hill South, but some power has been restored. Here in our part of of Abingdon we have had a recent pass of a snow plow and our road would be passable in an emergency. Of course, with the wind and blowing snow we can barely see the road.

Roads-Not Great

We just ventured out and the roads are not great. Tollgate north of Singer Road still is snow covered in some spots. The traffic circles are slushy with ice underneath.
And the drivers currently on the road are ignoring the conditions. After an ill-fated trip to Bob Evans, with apparently everyone in Harford County, trying to get out of the parking lot was difficult when we were met by an SUV-driving woman talking on her cell phone who didn't even see us and drivers whipping around snow drifts who almost hit us head on.
Please remember when you're driving, you're not the only person on the road. Be aware that your lane might end abruptly. Conditions are only going to worsen so please drive slowly and carefully. Oh, and one more thing, HANG UP AND DRIVE.
