The plan to clear the channel - Lt. Gen. Scott Spellmon, commander and chief of engineers, explained the team will approach the mission in three steps. Here's what they are: Step 1: Get the steel trust out of a 700-foot-wide by 50-foot-deep channel, and examine what parts of the concrete are still at the bottom. "Any piece of concrete, any piece of steel on the bottom is just as much as of a hazard as that in the channel," Spellmon said. This step will allow "one-way traffic going in and out of the Port of Baltimore again," he said. Step 2: Work closely with the Coast Guard to stabilize containers on top of the ship. Then the trust of the bridge that is still on top of the ship needs to be taken off "so it can be tugged to a safe part of the port," Spellmon said. "By removing the vessel, that will allow us to reopen two-way traffic." Step 3: Take out the remaining 2,900 feet of steel and all the associated concrete and roadway that's at the river bottom. "We're up to this task. We have what we need," Spellmon said. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/baltimore-key-bridge-collapse-03-27-24/index.html

"The pilot immediately ordered the rudder hard to port to keep the ship from turning right and ordered the port anchor be dropped, which it was, Diamond said. The pilot also contacted a dispatch office to get the bridge shut down." https://apnews.com/live/baltimore-key-bridge-collapse-latest-2024

Respect to the divers. That is terrifying work.

They're here. Not sure exactly as of when but just heard/saw my first one. Being chased around by an eagle.

Enjoying the sunny/moody skies today- from inside

I had no idea the Army did this and I approve. edit, I do see some platforms around here (in Armyland lol) but always figured DNR or such

Anyone spot any osprey yet? I've been super busy but haven't seen or heard any so far.

Hiked along some local wetlands earlier, major amphibian racket going on. peepers ofc and much more.

I hear them over the wind and just now through a closed window I, for one, welcome our new peeper overlords.

Peeper chorus last night here, too. If it happened earlier I missed it.

As far as this sub...I feel like the majority of posters here are (more or less) on the same page about (many or most) of your most frequently argued assertions and fears. If not in this or that particular analogy, example, illustration etc, then writ large. But maybe I just have a good ignore list!

Weenie radar looked like possibly few snow showers near Rock Hall idk (KDOX)

The raven couple are back. (assuming same pair) Hanging around the same group of trees the last few days. If you see them routinely in YBY this must seem weird but

12/7 - T 1/15-16 - 4.25" 1/19 - 3.75" 2/13 - T 2/17 - 1.5" Total - 9.5"

I too am preparing for the claw. Expectations clawed down. But maybe we claw it back.

I in no way meant to suggest anyone is panicking. Just seeing the letters hrrr was enough to make me remember this awesome post. I said I wasn't posting about the system

I'm not really posting this about this system, but I was reminded of it and have to give it another moment in the spotlight ...one of the best posts of the winter perhaps ever

I definitely can't keep the latest thread protocols straight and would like to thank those who are doing so for their service.

The suffering of mid-Atlantic snow weenies was already dire. How are we supposed to endure State Highway Snow Measurement. It's just cruel.
