MD -- Silver Spring -- On a bright shiny day after a snowfall -- Notes:

• Description of Pictures: 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.

  6. SSSNOW_100207_020.JPG: Our street had been plowed because the snow plow guy lived on it but the other streets weren't. The pile of snow in the distance was as far as the snow plows made it.
  9. SSSNOW_100207_033.JPG: The salt truck was at the end of a street. It had broke down. There's a puddle of green stuff (anti-freeze perhaps) oozing from underneath it.
  13. SSSNOW_100207_049.JPG: Mansfield street hadn't been plowed at all due to a downed line. You can see it's about two feet of snow.
  22. SSSNOW_100207_106.JPG: You can see the snow on this roof had collapsed a bit. There's a gap at the top and a snow wall forming below.
  23. SSSNOW_100207_111.JPG: This roof had already lost most of its snow.
  29. SSSNOW_100207_145.JPG: The collapsing snow can't be good for this guy's gutters.
  39. SSSNOW_100207_243.JPG: Interestingly, they had already shoveled the snow around the Downtown Silver Spring sign. Sidewalks were unwalkable but the sign had been shoveled....
  42. SSSNOW_100207_259.JPG: This was the sign at AFI. Due to the weather all Friday evening and Saturday screenings have been cancelled. We will re- open on Sunday as scheduled.
  44. SSSNOW_100207_274.JPG: This was the snow-blown wall of a bus stop booth which people had decided to decorate.
  47. SSSNOW_100207_294.JPG: This is Colesville Road.
  57. SSSNOW_100207_405.JPG: Colesville Road again.
  63. SSSNOW_100207_453.JPG: This is Mrs. K's.
  64. SSSNOW_100207_481.JPG: They were shoveling the roof at Mrs. K's.
  66. SSSNOW_100207_492.JPG: This is Dale Drive.
  83. SSSNOW_100207_615.JPG: Interesting snow wrap up there!
  87. SSSNOW_100207_657.JPG: Broken branches.
  95. SSSNOW_100207_715.JPG: Power company/phone trucks were in high demand.
• Missing Some Bigger photos? Each new digital camera by default wants to take larger and larger photos. To save myself time and server space, I don't upload to the web site versons of photos that are bigger than 1.75 megabytes to the web page.

  In 1840, Francis Preston Blair, with his daughter, Elizabeth, and his horse Selim discovered the spring, flowing with chips of mica. Two years later, the 20-room mansion Silver Spring was built on a 250-acre country homestead situated just outside of Washington, D.C. By 1854, Blair's son, Montgomery Blair, who became Postmaster General under Abraham Lincoln, and represented Dred Scott before the United States Supreme Court built a house in the area, called Falkland. Samuel Phillips Lee married Elizabeth Blair, and they bore Francis Preston Blair Lee in 1857. The child would eventually become the first popularly elected Senator in United States history. In 1864, Confederate States of America Army General Jubal Early occupied Silver Spring prior to the Battle of Fort Stevens.

The first suburban development began in 1887 when Selina Wilson divided part of her farm on Colesville Road and Brookville Road into 5 and 10 acre plots.
  
  In 1893, Francis Preston Blair Lee and his wife, Anne Brooke Lee, gave birth to E. Brooke Lee, who is known as the father of modern Silver Spring for his visionary attitude about developing the region. ... E. Brooke Lee and his brother, Blair Lee, founded the Lee Development Company, whose Colesville Road office building remains a downtown fixture. Suburban development continued in 1922 when Woodside Development Corporation created Woodside Park, with acre plot home sites. Montgomery Blair High School opened in 1924; it was the first high school in Montgomery County. 1924 also was the year that trolley service on Georgia Avenue across B&O's Metropolitan Branch was temporarily suspended so ...More...
