A Storm That Will Be Remembered for Generations

Posted by Dan Satterfield

OCINLETSome are calling it Snowzilla, and having experienced it, the name fits! From DC to Baltimore, and up to New York have over 2 feet. Here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, it varies but a foot is common in Central and Northern Delaware and near Denton in Maryland. On the coast, major coastal flooding has caused significant damage. I shot the image above (from the WBOC Ocean City Maryland inlet camera) off of a large monitor in our weather office at the Newsplex in Salisbury. The famous pier in Ocean City has been partially destroyed.
