On the topic of kids, recent studies failed to find a single case of a child passing the virus to an adult. While I'm sure it's happened somewhere at some point, the only research and data we have right now seems to show that kids just never really become contagious. One of the examples cited was a 9 year old British boy. They carried out contact tracing and out of the 170 people he came into contact with, 0 caught the virus. Open everything up as if nothing were wrong? No, but we should be putting together plans on how to get kids to back school this fall. Take the summer to develop a plan that protects teachers from other parents and staff, but it's becoming more and more clear it's not kids who are spreading this thing.

Just went from Tysons to Ashburn. 40 degrees in Tysons and raining, dropped to 37ish near Wolf Trap and started to mix with snow, was down to 36ish by Reston and all snow, and then down to 34ish in Herndon and starting to stick to grass. By the time I got to the broadlands area, it was sticking to the roads quite nicely.

Wet microburst from the Montgomery County cell maybe? This was as the storm was approaching silver spring.

Thanks! Something similar popped up a few times in different places as the whole thing interacted with the Potomac. Here's another occurrence earlier, before it crossed 495:

Yesterday I had a nice view of that area of rotation from Tysons as it moved from Fairfax County, across the Potomac, and into MD before the rain moved in and blocked my view. Pretty neat to watch!

Went for a good Jebwalk in the wilds of suburban Ashburn...always so nice to explore, see how the landscape has been changed, and enjoy just how silent the blanket of snow has made everything. I ended up doing more shoveling when I got back, since the plows had moved a mountain of snow just beyond the edge of my driveway while I was gone, and I knew it'd be a glacier come morning. \

Really enjoying winter finally being back here in Ashburn. I haven't gone to measure, but eyeballing, it looks like 2.5ish inches?

This whole storm was unbelievable during the week leading up, during the storm, and even after. It's a lot of fun reading through this tread though - good memories for sure. About an hour after the snow started It wouldn't be a storm without people raiding the grocery stores During one of the heavier bands on the 19th - the farthest building in the distance is 600 - 700 feet away My car didn't go anywhere for a while
