OMG. My apologies. Lol. You are definitely in the HoCo gang. Who else am I missing?

Mostly a lurker, but as the name suggests, I’m a Columbia guy (Stevens Forest/Oakland Mills to be precise—not far from where Lou Uccellini lives).

ETA: I’m going for 2.1” at my house.

Elementary schools close at 2:05pm today in Fairfax County.  Going to be a lot of kids on buses...

Arlington just announced its two hour early release -- much later than they are supposed to do (10:30) so they might've had a last second panic when OPM announced it. They at least get out at 1:35... so maybe slightly better.

Ridiculous to wait this long to make that decision IMO.

Actually, no. The decision is harder to make than you would think.  MARC and VRE run only one way because of shared tracking with Amtrak and CSX so there are a lot of rail logistics to iron out.  Even with a plan in place, which there is, it takes at least two hours to switch business operations.

Really cool stuff on the leading edge. Wall of precip has feathers due to dry air. Overcomes almost immediately. Juicy slug inbound..

I'm at work waiting for them to make a decision. We technically go by MC Government but we always seem to be more generous than them. No decision yet. 

First snow driving test potentially for my new car. JebDrive.

What does MARC and VRE have to do with Arlington schools?
