Snowstorm hits Bethesda for an icy start to 2022 (Photos)


The most significant snowstorm in several years yesterday caused some limited power outages and a number of traffic accidents. Many businesses closed for part or all of Monday. There are currently small numbers of Pepco customers without power in Spring Hill, Brookdale, American University Park, Bannockburn, Glen Echo, Wyngate, and between Fernwood Road and Old Georgetown Road near Wildwood Shopping Center.


This morning, Bethesda hit a hard freeze of 19 degrees. Montgomery County Public Schools closed for a second day. Metrobus is operating on a Severe Storm Schedule. Ride On bus is on a normal weekday schedule, but expect delays and detours based on road conditions in specific areas.
