I live right across from Delmarva power and light and I see nobody over there as of now.

1800 customers are out of power in Sussex county Delaware and we have the rest of the night to go.53 minutes ago, Tito said: Yup. In Camden, DE and just getting hammered. No power. Milford, DE city lost most of its power. Many hospitals are on generators. 1,800 customers are out of power in Sussex County, Delaware, and we have the rest of the night to go.

Ryan hall just said that Harrington Delaware has received 5 inches so far. The lights just flickered... Shit

Yeah it's been coming down pretty good here in H town since 1230.

If we get 2 feet the major highway 13 and 113 will be shut down for a couple days here.

Waiting here in Harrington for this beast. When do you think we will go over to snow?

Tony Romo quote Here we go Jim

I'll be hitting the grocery store here in Harrington before the peeps wake up and realize what's coming.

Both of those storms here in Harrington were the worst snow storms I have ever witnessed in my life. That was back in my high school days. Geez I'm getting old...lol

Darn, looking at the radar and seeing all that precipitation is like going to a seafood buffet and not being able to eat a damn thing. Torture but reality.

Awesome, it seems too me that you think they will win it all this year. Go O's!!!! Hopefully things will change today with these models to at least give the eastern shore some love today. Let's go fern!!!

Accumulating two inches of freezing rain is considered an extreme and catastrophic weather event. While only half an inch is needed to "cripple" a region, two inches causes widespread, long-duration destruction to infrastructure and natural environments. The specific damages caused by this level of icing include: Catastrophic Power Grid Failure: Just 0.5 inches of ice can add 500 pounds of weight to a single span of power lines, which is 30 times their normal weight. At two inches, the weight is immense enough to snap not just lines, but heavy-duty utility poles and massive transmission towers. Power outages in these scenarios often last for weeks. Severe Tree Destruction: Two inches of ice can increase the weight of tree branches by up to 30 times. This leads to the failure of even healthy, large trees, which fall onto homes, vehicles, and roads, further damaging property and blocking emergency access. Structural Damage to Buildings: Roof Collapse: The sheer weight of two inches of ice—especially if it accumulates on top of existing snow—can exceed the load-bearing capacity of many residential and commercial roofs, leading to collapse. Ice Dams: Heavy icing causes ice dams that force water under shingles, leading to severe interior water damage, sagging gutters, and ruined insulation.
