[Scan-DC] jet noise Gaithersburg?

[Doug K.]

Mea bozo.  As it turns out, I guess at least some of what I was hearing 
_was_ (is!) the wind... now that it's picked up some.

Strangely enough, tho, the trees outside didn't seem to be moving around 
much, and I was only hearing it in this one room (which is in the corner of 
the house, that may account for it.)

An earptical illusion, I guess...

Also, weatherwise and informationwise - Montgomery Fire just announced icy 
road conditions... dry here, but in looking at some of the traffic cams

some of the down-county roads appear wet.  A lot of accidents & related 
activity on the fire channels... nothing serious.  My mom just called from 
the White Oak/ Colesville area of Silver Spring and said that their grass is 
covered with snow... no sign of it on any of the traffic cams I looked at 
tho!
