This bench presumably has not been touched. Ill wave my hand or push it off. There is an icier texture to the snow out here. As you mentioned, blizzard watches into effect out here, blowing this snow and the snowflakes every which way. Thats why were seeing tracks of our own and vehicles that have moved down here become recovered by the fresher powder that is continuing to fall on top of it. Here at ocean city, between 5 inches of snow to perhaps more than that. As of right now, watching plows making their way around baltimore and this boardwalk. They were brining yeste ready for this. Of course, state and local administrators asking anyone who does not have to venture out into this, just to avoid it.
