| 2010_02_07_SS_Snow | | 156 | MD -- Silver Spring on a bright shiny day after the snowfall
Nothing much had changed since the previous afternoon. Our street was still only partially plowed. The streets nearby were still without power as is the traffic signal nearby. There was a broken salt truck at our intersection -- a large pool of antifreeze or whatever pooled underneath it. (Partially reviewed) |
| 2010_02_06_SS_Snow | | 103 | MD -- Silver Spring after yet another snowfall
Another snowfall... I measured the snow on my porch and it was just over feet deep. I only walked a few blocks, passing some broken branches and sagging or collapsed awnings but no major damage. During my walk, I found the folks on the next street over had been without power for eight hours. (Partially reviewed) |
