Kentlands Winter Weather Reminders
If you hear about a possible snow forecast, please do not park on streets marked with "Snow Emergency Routes". If you are parked on a Snow Emergency Route, you are at risk of being towed by the City of Gaithersburg.
Parking in the alleys is not permitted at any time. In order to keep access to snow plows unhindered, any cars parked in the alleys will be towed.
City law requires that you shovel the sidewalks abutting your property within 12 hours of the last snowfall.
In the event that the Clubhouse is closed during business hours due to inclement weather, please call 301-948-2071, ext. 106. Messages will be monitored. Also, check the Kentlands website at www.kentlandsusa.com for any updates.
Seeking Volunteers for Snow Removal
With a snowfall or icy rain, some residents need help to shovel their sidewalks and stairs. If you can help shovel, please call the Clubhouse at 301-948-2071 and speak with Chantel Reid or send an email to creid@cmc-management.com.
Skating on the Lakes is Prohibited!
The frozen lakes look inviting, but please do not attempt to play or skate on any of the lakes in Kentlands and Lakelands. The ice could give way and you would fall into freezing water! If this were to happen, it could prove fatal before rescuers could reach the scene. Talk to your children about the extreme danger of playing on the ice or the rocks surrounding the lakes.
Even though the ice looks stable, our lakes double as a storm drainage network. This means that the level of water under the ice may be lowering. In addition, the water is constantly moving under the ice, thus further contributing to a very dangerous environment. An adult can lose motor skills within a minute of being in freezing water and it's even faster for a child.
If you see anyone skating or playing on the lakes, please call the police non-emergency number at 301-279-8000 to report this activity.

This is good information for those who live in the Kentlands area. I love the picture.
Good information, glad we do not have the snow issue here in southern california
Just received this weather notice...
1-2" of snowfall likely this afternoon and snow will begin falling around noon today. Hazardous and delayed travel will be possible during the afternoon rush hours.
The National Weather Service has issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for Montgomery County from noon today until 10pm.
Plan accordingly and be very careful if you plan to be on the area roads this afternoon or tonight.
Roy, Great winter information! The color and detail in the photo is outstanding! Have a great day and stay safe in this weather!
With all the warmer weather, it can be easy to forget it's still winter and ignore these simle practices. Great Post!
Wow, that's a pretty good reminder about those lakes not being safe, who would of figured that they could be so unsafe.
Have an awesome day!
Good Wednesday morning to all. It is always good to hear from you.
It is now snowing in western Maryland but we hope that Montgomery County will not have heavy snow.
Roy, Frozen lakes can present such a hazards to people and their pets. We are always seeing rescue operations here in Denver where someone fell through the ice.
Belinda: We may need to get you to fly Will east with his snow blower. It is always good to hear from you.
