Kmlwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I say 10:45 p.m. OT of this but there is a surprising lack of schools calling it quits tonight. They might as well just do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Good guess Ian. I was going to go with 11 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think we will fewer and fewer closures moving forward. The push to mobilize the workforce is moving full steam ahead. At my office, those of us with a securid have to login to telework even if it is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my office, those of us with a securid have to login to telework even if it is closed. Probably but I don't think we are there yet. They gave us a delay for drizzle earlier in the winter. I guess this might be a test.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some big stuff going on and am ready to work from home.....between obs postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 In time for the 11:00 news. But I've already been told to work from home. Yay, me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWeatherGuy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'll call a course reversal. Announce liberal leave tonight (say, 10:30), then switch to closure at 5:30 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'll call a course reversal. Announce liberal leave tonight (say, 10:30), then switch to closure at 5:30 am. I think you may be on to something --OPM has embarrassed itself the last two years with premature delayed arrival policies. However, I think they may announce liberal leave in time for the 10 P.M. news and then throw in the towel around 4:30 A.M. tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 We will work even if Govt is officially "closed." But I'll hold my breath on the media mentioning that -- they like to say we are getting a free day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenmaniac Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Predict here: Liberal leave is all they should grant. Remember, we have a major federal budget problem, no reason to pay employees for not working. Make them use their vacation time. Horrible PR move to close with the mess the government has people in right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vern Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 4 a.m. They will probably be more conservative this time after giving everyone leave for a rainstorm earlier this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 just heard this on channel 7: liberal leave or telework for now; decision re: closing at 4 am. I'd seriously be shocked if they decide not to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'll just take leave either way if they don't shut down outright. MoCo schools will almost certainly be closed anyhow and will have to be at home. Even allowing telework, if the power goes out, you can forget that.

Ian Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Granted, maybe it will bust and at 4 am things will be much clearer.. but they made their announcement in the middle of numerous sources upping the ante. Silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly. No, it's not silly. Last time they told everyone to not report until noon, and all it did was rain. It would be silly for them to make that same mistake again and give 1/2 day leave to 300K people because it's wet outside. We can all wait until tomorrow morning.

It doesn't really matter in the end probably but still, with the main gov agencies predicting a major snowstorm prior to 11p news cycle.. they probably believe the Europeans are the only ones who can just forecast like everyone else. At least we see gov doing some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
