Wow. Your roads caved in Gburg?

In Germantown I feel like we are struggling to overcome meltage

Yeah I went for a 30 min walk and even the main roads have caved with these heavy rates.  This is the Downtown Crown/Rio area.  I think it’s about 32-33 here.  I have a terrible thermometer on my apartment balcony that runs about 2-3 degrees warm (says 35) due to building heat...thus my estimate lol.

Erin, I've lived in Germantown before and the difference between certain areas of town and others is stark. At Milestone off 355 and 29, roads can be wet, but my in-laws off Brink and into the local hills can have fully caved roads and treacherous driving conditions. It's weird. Don't fret though. Enjoy the snow!

When I measure the snowfall in every storm, my measurement only 3 miles from Milestone off 355 is higher than others in Germantown!  to others, it seems like I am fudging my numbers! All my career I have dealt with numbers and mathematical modeling/algorithms and I always double checking my numbers to make sure it is accurate but still it goes higher.:)

I'm near DTSS, about a mile north of the tip of DC (and inside the beltway) where we have heavy wet snow falling. It's accumulating on all surfaces but I can tell it's only the rates keeping streets white; there's been a pretty consistent 1/4" coating for an hour now despite heavy snow. 

 

Eta steady 32.4 degrees.

Microclimates in that area are real! Used to have the same thing at my in-laws when I lived there for a year. Germantown would have white rain and I'd measure 1-2" at the house. It's bizarre, but it's MoCo!
