BES Members, The Baltimore-Washington areas are expected to be hit with a major snow storm this weekend. This storm has been described as a potential blizzard that may bring with it 60 MPH winds, and is expected to break a 90 year old record. The snow is expected to start falling this evening, intensify Saturday and stop Sunday morning covering the area with between 1 to 2 feet of snow. Maryland has already declared a state of emergency, and issued a storm warning. Baltimore has halted bus and light rail services for the weekend.
As such, BES is canceling all activities for Saturday and Sunday. We highly recommend that you stay inside and off the roads during this storm. We regret having to cancel our activities, but your safety and health are far more important. Considering the intensity of this storm, I'm also concerned about many of our friends who may be under prepared for this storm. Please consider periodic calls to those you may know who could use emotional and material support during this crisis. The high winds may also bring power outages to many homes, so please get your cell phones charged today, and stock up on water. I suspect we'll be digging out of this snow through Monday. Thank you for your understanding. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Paul BES President
