When people think of the beach they rarely think SNOW, but snow is what we had late Sunday night and a good portion of Monday morning in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. From listening to the local radio station I was informed that schools and State Government offices were all closed. Being from Michigan and having lived in Colorado, Northern California and even Alaska this storm was mild but the locals certainly thought otherwise. My trusty Jeep and I drove to the office just like every other day only to find a handful of other die-hard Realtors busy at work even though the office was officially closed. Kim Hamer, Vicki Tull and Justin Healy were just a few of the brave souls who tempted fate on the slippery roads. Snow in Rehoboth is so rare that I took a few photos to prove that it really happened.

On February first 2009 the 18th annual Polar Bear Plunge held to benefit Delaware Special Olympics went off without a hitch. I’m not sure what the official count was but there were thousands of people in attendance and hundreds if not more “Plungers”
The State Governor and Miss Delaware were in attendance.
The Lewes Fire/Rescue team put on a great show with their water cannons and kept an eye out for swimmers who could be overcome by the surf or the cold temperatures. I saw at least two members of the fire /rescue team in dry suits monitoring the plungers activities from the frigid waters.
