aldie 22 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Boom. Landfall's almost within 48 hours now, and given the NAM isn't far off the course of the other models, I'm at least starting to look at it even though I'm not keen on giving it much if any weight for at least a few more runs.

stormtracker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 If things pan out as modeled, no doubt in my mind government will be closed Monday, but better chance Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds don't spike till about 18z Mon.. perhaps a little earlier. I could see it being a liberal leave day. If it performs from late Monday on Tuesday seems game...

How much of that would depend on what happens with Metro/MARC/VRE, and commuter buses? If they're down, the Gov't usually closes I think. Though as you say they may well go with liberal leave and allow telecommuting if you've got an agreement for that. I'd say there's a decent likelihood that schools are closed Mon/Tue.

Gvt is very pro telework now and with more and more people having VDI (No, its not an std) you can get your work done without annoying people bothering you.

Very true, they certainly are. Even if you don't regularly telework they let you sign an agreement in the event of bad weather and the like. Of course, if you've got no power, it wouldn't matter.

Well for one, I dont think your filght will be going out on Tues morning or at least it will be delayed most likely. Monday is going to be hell for flights being cancelled and or delayed. IAD already has a couple flights cancelled tomorrow night. It is up to FAA and BWI ops to make the decision on when to ground stop all flights.

Doesn't matter, Monday wise...if they anticipate it being bad later, no way they wanna risk a Jan 26 esque debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
