Partly cloudy, dry and even milder update for Valentine’s Day Thursday, February 14, 2019 for West Rockville Maryland

Partly cloudy, dry and even milder update for Valentine’s Day Thursday, February 14, 2019 for West Rockville Maryland

Partly cloudy, dry and even milder with high temperatures reaching just over the 50° mark after a cold early morning with lows about 2 degrees below the freezing mark.

Partly cloudy, warmer on Sunday with high temps up in the lower 50s after early AM lows in the mid 20s.

Partly sunny, milder, dry update for Ground Hog Day Saturday, February 2, 2019 from West Rockville, Maryland

Well the ground hog didn’t see his shadow so we are supposedly in for an early spring. Punxsatawney Phil has had about a 40% accuracy rate the past 10 years so I am not too worried about our snow chances for the next 6 weeks. Partly cloudy, one more chilly early AM (lower teens) then milder PM (upper 30s) with temps getting above freezing and with some sun, the snowpack diminished during the day on Saturday unfortunately.  The maximum temperature…
