>Alert Montomery is notifying residents about yet another possible snow accumulation this Thursday, March February 25, 2010:
Another significant Nor’easter expected on Thursday. 5+ inches of snowfall possible with this approaching system. High winds may lead to widespread power outages. Residents are encouraged to begin Winter Storm preparations now.
The National Weather Service has issued a WINTER STORM WATCH for Montgomery County until Thursday night. A strong low pressure system is expected to develop off the Carolina coast and move East of the region Thursday. Current indications suggest this will be an all snow event for the County. Residents should begin Winter Storm preparations which should consider the potential of significant (5+in) snow accumulations within the next 48 hours.
If you haven’t already, you should sign up for Montgomery County’s Roam Secure Alert Network. The service can let you know immediately about a major crisis, emergency, or severe weather event. The alerts are issued only for important situations such as water main breaks, tornado warnings, etc. You can get them by e-mail, cell phone, or pager.
Also, Rockville has its own service, Alert Rockville, which you should also sign up for to stay safe.
Let’s hope we don’t get too much snow this time around. I don’t think we can take much more. My ice dam finally fell off the roof today and we don’t need another!

You must mean February 25 – not March.
Yes, I most certainly do! Let’s hope we aren’t getting another snow storm in a month! Thanks!
thankful it looks like it was just rain so far, and maybe rain/show showers.
Yes, thankful! Woke to the sun coming up with a slight sprinkle of snow on the pathway. Lovely.
