Rockville snow accumulation forecast revised upward as Winter Storm Gia path changes

Suburban News Network
STORM CENTER

Winter Storm Gia's path has drifted northward as it approaches the D.C. area, and forecasters have adjusted their snow accumulation totals accordingly. Montgomery County is now expected to receive between three to six inches by Sunday evening. The start of the snowfall is now expected to begin two hours later today - 4:00 PM instead of 2:00, indicating the storm has slowed slightly. Gia is currently advancing over the I-81 corridor. A slower storm could mean totals would be at the higher end of the forecasted spectrum.

County Executive Marc Elrich appears to be taking a proactive approach to the storm. Major and secondary County roadways had been pretreated by Friday night, while the state was behind schedule in treating highways they control within the County. "I ask all Marylanders to put safety first by staying off the roads during the storm, following your local weather forecasts, and heeding all warnings,” Maryland Governor Larry Hogan said Friday.

    Robert, when a elected official is sworn in they promise to uphold the Constitution NOT a political party.

    Hogan shouldn't be beholden to the Republican party or any party. He serves all people of Maryland no matter what party they are in.

  4. @ 10:59 AM - Obviously AMZHQ2 has nothing to do with Snowstorm Gia. But since BtB mentioned Governor Hogan, it's interesting to review the ups and downs of BtB's alternately fawning, alternately hostile relation with him.
