Yeah, it seems from the few news reports and hospital alerts from MEMA website, only a few PG and MOCO hospitals are being stretched thin.

That's a running tally, so it is not indicative of total currently hospitalized

+220 hospitalized, is that the largest 24 hr increase?

Nope. Only three red alerts right now. Most of the alerts are for emergency room services so those alerts are more transient. Probably a lot less emergency room stress with less commuters and all social activities being cancelled.

Yeah, I think the red alert status for a hospital on CHATTS website is the closest to usage that can be found right now. Some hospitals in MOCO and PG have been on red alert for days. Johns Hopkins and Bayview were a few weeks ago, but the BMORE hospitals have not been on red alert much over the past week. Again this is for ECG and telemetry beds so it indicates all patients being monitored at the hospital irregardless of disease. You can query data to see how often each hospital has been on red alert, but the website is a bit slow.

I think the only data out there is the MIEMSS CHATS system that details emergency room alerts for all MD hospitals and if the hospital has run out of ECG monitored beds, which I assume would be a indication Covid patient hospital strain.

The MIEMSS CHATS system gives some indication of hospital strain, mostly with emergency room availability, but red alert deals with all ECG monitored beds: www.miemssalert.com/chats/Default.aspx?hdRegion=5 A few hospitals in PG and Moco area have been on red alert for the past week.

Some how that storm missed downtown Easton, rained hard for maybe 5 seconds and passed by to the north.

Pea sized hail with a passing thunderstorm, most winter weather I have seen on the eastern shore this year...

One of the positives from the 10 am update is +47 hospitalizations, I think the past few days it was averaging well over 100.

First thing this morning there was a few scattered snow flakes on all surfaces, so that puts me at 0.50001" for the year

47...at least it won't be a cold rain

We still interested in this cold rain event?

Delmarva winter specialty, 33 and rain.

Yawn 

That was my second biggest event.....

Did that early February surprise snow miss you?

Sounds like no one else saw snow.

Looking at 8.4 inches in Easton for the winter. Really only two events, one underachieved, 4.3 inches, when every model was saying at least 7, even during the storm. The other overachieved, projected dusting turned into 3 inches. Everything else was garbage slop.

About 1 inch of sleet and snow in Easton, probably a foot of salt on the roads. Brings the annual total up to 8.4 inches of snow/sleet and 3 feet of salt.

Sleet size is impressive.

Looks like lack of precipitation and east wind from the ocean.

Last storm obs from Easton, I don't see much more in the way of accumulation the rest of the day. 31.5, dp 27.1, sn, dusting

32.2 dp 22 with light pixie dust in Easton.
