Weekend Rain Heaviest Of The New Year
Weekend rain proved the heaviest of the new year with 1.15 inches at the airport weather station and a half inch of snow at Gambrill State Park. Creeks and rivers ran high as ice moved downstream, prompting road crews to deploy cinder trucks on icy US routes. Temperatures rose from overnight lows near 33 to 42 by 9:30 am as the forecaster predicted fair weather and a cold but not severe spell ahead. Israel's Creek and Monocacy river showed high flows with limited ice jams reported.

Water main break undermines East Patrick Street
A section of East Patrick Street between Hamilton Avenue and Franklin Street was undermined by a water main break and must be torn out and rebuilt. Detours were set up to direct one way traffic around a sink 10 to 15 feet wide. Water Superintendent William J. Davis detected the damage near a tree on Nusbaum property and found the undermining extended under the pavement. The likely sink is 75 feet long, deepest near the sewer line, with possible sewer damage as well. Water service was halted for certain homes while alternate lines supplied customers. Work to remove the affected macadam began, with curb and gutter to be retained if possible. Gas mains near the site were untouched and officials were informed. The extent of the area will be confirmed as crews begin teardown.
