[CALV-AUXCOMM] NWS Update

[Dave]

Only a few brief power outages so far.  See on social media that there are trees down and transformers blowing in CRE with some power outages.
The Covid shot clinic that Peter Holt and I were scheduled for was postponed 2 weeks.
Staying home for now.

Calvert AUXCOMM

NWS has just issued a winter storm warning for Calvert and St Mary's counties.  Looks like we may have a significant ice accumulation.  Typically anything above a quarter inch causes tree damage and power loss.
