Aspen Hill Road right lane remained unplowed 10 days after Winter Storm Jonas (Photo)
Missed a spot. One of several trouble spots countywide that still need attention from plows was on Aspen Hill Road. Scott Shirley tweeted a video of the scene yesterday, where the right lane remained a snow drift. In the video, you can see he is approaching Connecticut Avenue and the Aspen Hill Shopping Center, heading toward Georgia Avenue.

Winter Storm Jonas update for Silver Spring/Wheaton/Burtonsville
East MoCo Storm Center
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has declared a State of Emergency, as Winter Storm Jonas approaches the D.C. metro area. The temperature is currently 21 degrees F. A Blizzard Warning will be in effect beginning at 3:00 PM this afternoon.
Expect the snow to begin between noon and 1:00 PM today, and to intensify by mid-afternoon. Blizzard conditions are predicted to start around mid-evening, and winds will increase dramatically to 25-35 MPH, with dangerous gusts up to 60 MPH. That almost guarantees power outages in the area.
Accumulations of at least 2 feet are expected (24-30" is the latest National Weather Service prediction), with the possibility of setting a new record for the area. Temperatures overnight will be in the mid-20s, but feel far colder with the Arctic wind gusts. Whiteout conditions are expected from Friday night through Saturday.
Montgomery County public parking lots and garages will be FREE starting today at noon, through 9:00 AM on Monday, January 25. If you're willing to gamble that there will be any kind of auto travel possible by Monday morning, you could theoretically stash your car in a public garage and avoid having to dig it out. Street meters won't be free, however. Watch to make sure you are not parked along a snow emergency route.
Montgomery County Public Schools are closed. It is not recommended anyone be out on the roads once the storm gets fully underway.
Stay tuned here on the blog, and on Twitter 24/7 @SilverSprung @WheatonGlenmont @Burtonsville throughout the storm for updates and information.
