• Slammed again but open for business!

  The good news is that the wind, gusting over 50 mph last night and shaking my house, has been steadily out of the west.

• Beach fill progress

  For those who are wondering what the recent storms have done to Ocean City's beaches, the answer is...not much.

  Snow and more snow. Ocean City got a little bit lucky, with a crack in the clouds giving us a break from the heavy stuff, but we have about a foot of snow on the ground and it is starting to come down hard again. Pretty much everything is closed. One Read More... Posted Saturday, February 06, 2010 11:49 AM by Joan Farrell | 0 Comments

• Snow and more snow....has not cooled off the buyers!

  The blizzard that hit the shore on January 30 dropped eight inches of snow in Ocean City, but that did not deter buyers from making the rounds with their agents.
