It shows how quickly the conditions can change in that area, over a distance of just a couple of miles. Truly remarkable event today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Made some measurements... snow total of 1.5" in Germantown, MD (measurements ranged from 1.25" on cars to 1.75" in the grass). Overperformer in my book... was expecting a dusting to an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats about what it is unless my interpretation of a mile is off. If you're near Seneca you're south of me by only 5 or 6 miles so difference shouldn't be too huge. When heading northwest from D.C. towards Germantown (on the west side of I-270), the District's "heat island" ends just north of Gaithersburg and just south of Germantown. At night, there's an abrupt and very noticeable temperature drop as one crests a hill in the Seneca Creek area of Clopper Road. There is no recovery in temperature beyond that point. I lived in Germantown (Red Robin Terrace, just off Great Seneca Highway) from '95 to '03 and saw way more snow than those down-county. My best friend, a lifelong resident of the District just recently moved to Germantown; I told him: "welcome to snow country!" It sure didn't take long, ha-ha! Love the play-by-plays here of weather back in my old stomping grounds. Thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense as you are a bit NE of here. I'm at a storm total of 2.3" right now. Maybe the next band to the NW will get me near 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
