Spring has sprung.
May — I mean March — continues on a mostly warm note. Yeah, we've had a couple of days where low clouds and fog have wrecked temperature forecasts and we didn't get as warm as hoped or hyped. Thanks to the natural air conditioner known as the Atlantic Ocean (where water temperatures are around 50 degrees) and a high pressure center to the east, a weak southeasterly flow has been the culprit in bringing a couple of mornings of low clouds and fog. This resulted in mild — but not as warm — temperatures on a couple of occasions last week. However, we did break 70 three times. We will have to contend with low clouds and fog on a few mornings this week. The best chances for persistent cloud cover and temperature forecast busts are Tuesday, as a …
Spring sports begin and the Planning Commission tackles a few noteworthy proposals.
Welcome to the week of Monday, March 19. Although it seems as though spring has already arrived, Monday marks the last official day of winter. The weather this week should be fitting, as highs continually fall in the 70's this week, with lows only dipping below 50 on Friday as a cold front moves in for the weekend. Spring sports also begin this week for Upper Dublin High School, as the boys tennis team hosts a slate of games and Lady LAX looks to get revenge on Abington for last year's season-opening loss. Residents may want to keep an eye on Tuesday's Planning Commission meeting, which has several noteworthy items on the agenda, including the proposed Wawa on Virginia Drive, an improvement plan for sidewalks at the Maple Glen Shopping …

Polls have opened for your votes and will close Friday at 9 a.m. We'll then announce the winner and stop by the restaurant to drop off a Patch Readers' Choice certificate.

Maple Glen Pizza voted best takeout in Upper Dublin.
According to Upper Dublin Patch readers, Maple Glen Pizza is the place to go for takeout in the township. Over 100 readers cast their vote in our inaugural "Best Of" contest this week, and nearly 33 percent of them voted for MGP, located at 641 West Welsh Road in Maple Glen. The Fireside Bar and Grille came in second with 21 percent of the vote, and In the Bag third with 10 percent. A look at Maple Glen Pizza's menu might explain why they won the crown, with just about every Italian and American food you could want, including a section labeled "Maple Glen Specialties." Patch will be stopping by Maple Glen Pizza later today to present them with a certificate, and be sure to congratulate the staff next time you stop in for a bite.
