SNOW BEGINS TO STICK TO ROADS - BETHESDA SNOW UPDATE + FORECAST

The current temperature in Bethesda is 30° F, and snow is now beginning to stick to and accumulate on roadways. Expect light snow to continue through 7:00 AM tomorrow morning, with the total amount ranging up to 3", according to the National Weather Service.  Temperatures will drop to 27°, and winds will be north at 9-13 MPH, with gusts up to 25.

Trucks are applying chemicals to local roads, such the convoy that traveled along Woodmont Avenue moments ago in the photo below.

Transit is operating here, but Amtrak is on a modified schedule along the Northeast Corridor this evening.

Stay tuned to @BethesdaRow on Twitter for updates throughout the storm.

School closings would be nice to have. The other blog already posted them nearly an hour ago.

Do people really skip over the local TV and WTOP and the MCPS Twitter and website, and say, "I'm gonna check The Other Blog for school closings first!"?

WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW.

I thought I had heard it all from you Dyer, but now you are saying that the weather posts on this blog are YOUR OWN PREDICTIONS? AND NOT TAKEN FROM THE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF AREA NEWS METEOROLOGISTS?

You continue to amaze and mesmerize. Congrats man.
