Area closings and delays for this

Live updates: Snowstorm in Carroll County.
Record amount of snow might descend on the Carroll County
area today into the weekend, but the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department isn't
backing down from the winter challenge.
"We're ready. Bring it on," said Richard Dell, a
spokesman for the fire department.
Like other Carroll fire companies, the department has been
preparing for the snow, checking its equipment and preparing its station to
house firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics who will
weather the storm at the station in order to make sure there will be staff
available to cover emergencies. The upcoming storm, dubbed Jonas, could bring
18 to 24 inches of snow by the time it stops, according to the National Weather
Service.
"We're here to take care of the people in our
community, and we'll do that," Dell said.
Many of the departments are equipped with snow chains and
four-wheel-drive vehicles. The Manchester department's ambulances are all four-wheel
drive, and the company also has two four-wheel-drive utility vehicles, Dell
said.
Fire and police departments also work with the county to
make sure the roads they need to use are clear, Westminster Volunteer Fire
Department spokesman Kevin Dayhoff said.
"The relationships that we have with the city and the
county are invaluable," Dayhoff said.

Snowtastrophe - These days big government cannot get
anything right.
Saturday afternoon, Jan. 22, 2016 4:45 pm: “…Really -
everyone ought to stay off the roads unless you are a first responder. I've
been doing this stuff for 45 years and I have a heavy 4-wheel drive truck and
even I have just stayed home. This stuff is for the young responders... Some
days I feel my age. Some days I know my age.”
