With an impressive winter storm forecast to move up the East Coast--including blizzard and winter storm warnings for the southern part of the Chesapeake Bay--over the next 36 hours or so, the CBIBS team is working to make sure delicate parts of the buoys stay safe. On Wednesday, January 3, they are working to remove some sensors from the Jamestown buoy, and may, with the assistance of partners, also be able to remove some from the York Spit and Stingray Point buoys. These sensors would then be returned to service once the risk of severe/freezing weather and water has passed.
