Summary
The frozen Potomac River at Weverton in February, 2026. This hadn’t happened in at least 8 years.
According to Ellis Burruss in his front page article about the Winter storm that affected Brunswick from January 25 through the first weeks of February, “What made the recent storm most memorable was the thick layer of sleet that froze on top of the snow. 6 to 8 inches of snow was immediately coated by two to three inches of sleet, forming a thick, hard surface that meteorologists call ‘snowcrete’-- like hardened concrete.”
We’re hopeful that the worst of Winter weather is now in the rear-view mirror.
