The National Weather Service has released snow totals from yesterday’s winter storm. These totals come from various times, so they may be different than what you experienced in the same area due to the changeover to sleet, freezing rain, and eventually rain.

Clarksburg came in with the highest total measuring at just under 4 inches.


Event

Beautiful venue; great art, gifts and hand-crafted items; refreshments; and meet the award-winning painters, photographers, mixed media artists, ceramicists, fiber artists, and more – some 40 artists in all. It’s an extraordinary array of framed wall works, 3-d media including sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and fiber pieces, and unframed prints.

Among them, you’ll see:

Bethesda

Back in August, we let you know that Yirasai Sushi would be moving from its Westbard location in Bethesda to Park Potomac (12525 Park Potomac Ave Building G), following a conversation with restaurant management.

From August: “Earlier today we spoke with a manager at Yirasai Sushi, located at 5110 Ridgefield Road in the Westwood Shipping Center in Bethesda, who told us that the tentative plan is to close to the current location later this year as they prepare to move in to the old Elevation Burger spot in Park Potomac that became available last month.”


MCFRS

West Montgomery Avenue is closed between Nelson Street and Hurley Avenue due to a traffic collision involving a tractor trailer that occurred just before 7am this morning, according to MCFRS PIO Jason Blake.

A Haz Mat team has been on the scene to pump off the saddle tanks prior to the removal of the tractor trailer. There were no injuries.
