Thanks for the weather report!  For once Gaithersburg (western/central Montgomery County) is not the record holder and I am not complaining.

Down the road a couple of miles south, some guy measured 9 1/2". I am glad this didn't happen yesterday morning.

wow you guys certainly got a good bit!  We only got an inch or so up here.  The amount of salt they dropped on the road, though, can last through the next snow fall, yeesh!

Someone I know in Williamsburg got over a foot. Heading a ways more south, the snow pretty much shut Charlotte (heck, most of North Carolina) down. This was a weird, bizarre, freak storm.

I was up in Boston freezing without a snowflake in sight, laughing at all the overreaction. The (near-)New Englander in me will never die.

It's funny when they say over the radio "the further you go south, the more snow you'll see!"

Well, I am so SOUTH of you good peeps, that the snow you all measure in inches & feet, some Floridians measure in grams & kilos.

The US Coast Guard imports all the snow for Florida.

Amother import for Florida we dont need.

Point south got a foot or more.

The SHA pretreated the roads on Thursday with their brine solution. The overall amount of salt used during the entire event was minimal. A hell of a lot of snow was pushed. The areas that have large amount of salt on then are strip mall parking lots.

When I see the over abundance of salt on these parking lots, I think of how many fries McDonald's would have to cook to put all that salt on.
