Roads were very icy coming over the catoctins on the way home from work around 530 today. There was a car that went down an embankment from the ice. In Thurmont roads were fine but alot of ice on the trees. Wasn't till I was over 1000 ft in elevation that the roads were dicey. Once on the other side if the catoctins in Smithsburg roads were good again with some ice on trees.
That added elevation makes all the difference with winter weather.
There's been times when it's raining at home in Smithsburg but on top of route 77 there's several inches of snow.
