Stirring an unnecessary snow panic at the grocery stores?

THE FACTS: Forecasts predicted a less than 50% chance of snow Monday afternoon until just after midnight followed by rainy and mild days. No significant snow amount was indicated. A later forecast included rain as well on Monday.

But you'll probably being hearing a lot of "it's supposed to..." around town. 

We say it was not a responsible headline for delmarvanow.com (Salisbury Daily Times) to use, especially as the leading story.

Payment scam-

Beware, this is a SCAM!

Pocomoke firemen confronted snowstorm havoc-

(Info edit from Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Company FACEBOOK)

Beginning this past Sunday evening the Pocomoke City Volunteer Fire Company maintained a volunteer staffed engine, rescue, command vehicle, and utility vehicle to serve during the course of the snowstorm.

By early Monday afternoon Pocomoke Fire Company personnel had responded to 17 calls for service, including assisting Accomack with a structure fire. The majority of incidents were storm-related, involving vehicles off the roadway, numerous trees and limbs down, downed power and utility lines, and assisting EMS.

Crews removed countless trees and limbs. Members also faced adverse and hazardous conditions, and in some cases, obstructions could not be safely removed.

Personnel remained standing by at the station, ready to respond to additional emergency calls.

THANK YOU, POCOMOKE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND SERVICE!

Pocomoke welcomes The Landing!

Congratulations to the newest addition to downtown Pocomoke City! The Landing, located at 149 Market Street, now brings together four professional service providers along with a charming storefront boutique under one roof.

Local entrepreneurs Rachel Harris and Stephanie Dize—recipients of the Downtown Building Improvement Program and Project Restore 2.0—have transformed a property that had stood vacant for more than 20 years into a vibrant new space for the community.
