Swiscaster Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Snowing steadily on 66 East through Fairfax. Snow accumulating in between the lanes. Just past 3 salting trucks. Thanks for reverse_psychologying this "storm" to fruition, Jeb. That was some true overnight dedication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 downsloping I don't think that can explain all of it. If you look at radar this morning, you can see the precip forming just on the east slopes of the mountains. It literally looks as if it's forming right at the base of the mountains.

dailylurker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Beautiful late winter morning. Light snow falling on top of yesterday's snow. Radar looks good. Should be a nice snowy morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeblue219 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's not sticking on roads in DC. Maybe not a true bust, but still kinda dissapointing. Just woke up - it's coming down hard and the major roads I can see in silver spring (inside the beltway) are almost completely covered in white. Kind of wondering what the commute is going to be like today if this stuff is sticking already and nothing is delayed or closed... hopefully traffic's not too horrible.

Bob Chill Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Side roads are terrible in Rockville. Just drove kids to school and nothing is treated. Very slick. Looks great and I love driving in snow so it was fun. MCPS doesn't care about kids. Mattie should consider moving here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 lol Fed gov't has unscheduled leave I don't think this is a bad decision. Right in DC, the roads are good, but it looks like there are a lot of problems outside the Beltway (especially on the west side of town), according to the WTOP.com traffic map. The intent of unscheduled leave/telework is to reduce the number of cars on the road across the entire metro area on days with potentially dangerous road conditions, and I think this fits the bill.

Herb@MAWS Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 lol Fed gov't has unscheduled leave But they also have telework, which I'm doing. Sure beats jumping into the car at 5am and driving 35 miles to DC in the dark, not knowing what to expect (it only takes one accident to "kill" a good commute) or dealing with possibility of some idiot driver sliding into me. In retrospect in terms of just the road conditions, I probably could've (and should've) driven in to DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side roads are horrible and very slippery. I think Mattie is the decision maker for the schools here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlwx Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Now I know why The Hill Of Doom received special attention before 6 am. An Arlington County schoolbus just came down the street. Tangible benefits of paying property taxes! (and a bus route change) But the untreated surfaces, including the non-middle parts of the street, are ALL covered by the small-flake snow. I made a dash for the newspaper at 6 am, and my mobile weather station (aka car) said it was 32 degrees then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
