There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions during the morning commute on Friday. A period of light snow is likely, with up to an inch of snow accumulation, with higher amounts possible in the southern areas of the county. If this threat materializes during the Friday morning rush hour, many roads could quickly become icy, leading to hazardous travel conditions.

I don't have any illusions about my email to the county actually getting us a raised crosswalk but it's nice to at least feel heard.
Mr. Galbo – Thank you for your email. This confirms receipt of your concerns with the crosswalk near Redacted School. Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) appreciates the opportunity to assist you. Your request has been assigned Log # redacted and forwarded to Capital Projects Manager redacted for review and response. MCDOT’s review process will take approximately 40 days, excluding weekends and public holidays. MCDOT will share our conclusions related to your request by January 2026.
