Snow Day in Ocean City Md today!

It seems like it’s been a long while since we have had any measurable snow in Ocean City but we are getting it today!

Whether you like snow or not, when it arrives to our beach town it’s always a little special.  Today’s Ocean City accumulation is expected to reach about six inches, with most arriving in the early morning hours, turning to a wintery mix, and then to rain as the temperatures exceed thirty-two degrees.  But then we may get additional snow tonight!  And a chance for more next weekend!!

But let’s look at some Ocean City pictures of the snow from this morning.  And just so you know, most local governments and school districts in our area have announced closures today including the Town of Ocean City.

Streets

The Town of Ocean City was out early this morning clearing the major roads of snow and then getting to the secondary roads next.  However, residents and visitors have been advised to stay inside given these conditions.  Even the bus service has been halted for today given these wintery conditions.

Here’s pictures of Philadelphia Avenue from 26^th Street this morning and Baltimore Avenue.

Boardwalk

Nothing better for visitors to see and experience then snow on the Ocean City boardwalk.  Few people were seen on the boardwalk this morning but as seen in the snow tracks there were several about walking their dogs.

The Beach

Actually, there is one thing that tops the boardwalk on snow days, and that’s a snow beach!  Many people have never seen snow on a beach but we have a great day today.  And to experience the shoreline as the ocean waves hit on the snow is something to behold.

So, if you haven’t got outside today for a short walk, do so to experience this pleasure of this season while it’s here.  Of course, the clearing of one’s vehicles and shoveling of one’s driveways may often offset this seasonal pleasure. 

Snow quotes

“Snow flurries began to fall and they swirled around people’s legs like house cats.  It was magical, this snow globe world.” – Sarah Addison Allen

“Snowflakes are kisses from heaven.” – unknown

And then we have this quote from Carl Reiner – “A lot of people like snow.  I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.” 

To each his own!
