9/3/2014

 
    They had to decide months before the National Weather Service or the Old Farmer's Almanac came out with their predictions for the winter of 2014-15.
    Even before they finished plowing near-record snowfalls late last winter, roadmasters across the Southern End were being asked to order salt for the following year.
    There is no good way to make that decision, said William Lamparter, supervisor for Quarryville's public works department.

8/31/2014

 
    A tiny, nameless tributary to the Conowingo Creek got a new bridge recently.

4/16/2014

 
    Saturday's weather was nearly perfect.
    Sunny skies and warm temperatures prompted many homeowners to tackle the brush and tree limbs felled by this past winter's snow and ice.
