week in review

Here's a look at the week's top stories:

Monday: First Snow Day on Delmarva

Monday the weather turned stormy and cold. The front end of a week of wicked frigid deliveries from Mother Nature, impacting a lot on the Coast.

Tuesday: Medical Marijuana Bill

Tuesday we took a look at House Bill 285. It hasn't been voted on yet but if it passes it would make it easier to get a medical marijuana card. Right now you need a debilitating medical condition. Under the new bill, doctors could prescribe the drug and anyone 65 and older could decide for themselves.

FEEL GOOD FRIDAY

On Wednesday a gun was found in a student's backpack. Delaware State Police troopers say the gun was loaded. The 17-year-old student was arrested.

Thursday: Georgetown leans away from allowing pot

Georgetown's Planning Commission is likely to oppose an ordinance that would allow the business of bud in town limits. Previously, it appeared Georgetown would be one of the few Sussex County towns that planned to permit the drug in town limits. 

Friday: Lots of snow on Delmarva

Snow barreled back onto Delmarva. Almost all schools were closed due to the snow, though some parts of the peninsula only got a dusting.
