jnis Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Damascus has great elevation, I expect you to get a lot from this storm. Yes, I'm at almost 800'. I can recall many storms where just an extra 200 - 300' in elevation made a big difference between here and Places just off the ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
