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

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.

First favorable mention of Hogan in 93 days. Did you get over your hissy-fit with him?

"Let's face it - Larry Hogan's top priority is Larry Hogan. A one-man party who threw his fellow Republicans under the bus."

Thanks Storm Center 4 Meteorologist Bob Ryan!!! Don't quit your day job. Oh that's right, you don't have one.

6:56: Bob Ryan is the one without the day job; he retired a long time ago, carpetbagger.

Retired being the active word after years of service with the local NBC affiliate. Where's your weather reporting credentials? Day or night no matter. At least he had one.

7:15: You're too scared to print your own name online, so you're hardly in a position to critique anyone's "credentials." Bob Ryan was 110% more accurate than the Capital Weather Gang, and I miss the annual Bob Ryan almanac.
