ThePhotoGuy Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 A balmy 45 degrees in Annapolis. Pretty sunrise this morning. Always going to be a good snowstorm when temperatures push to 50 four hours before it is supposed to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainGeek Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Wow that was impressive -- that's the fastest onset I've seen in a while. Moderate to heavy SN, went from a stray flake or two straight to snow globe. Just like a thunderstorm in the summer where you can see the rain line coming and watch it hit you in the face. 32/25 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
