You might actually be better off. Problem is, everyone I know who's going to OH/PA is planning on driving up there right at the same time as me (the day before in the morning). That's not a good sign lol
Have backup routes planned ahead of time is what I've found out to be best. From DC, you could do 70 to the PA turnpike but everyone is going to be doing that route so it's going to be stupidly packed. Next option is I-68 to I-79 in Morgantown and go North. If that doesn't work US-40 to PA-43 to PA-51 to backdoor your way into Pittsburgh to points North. My guess is that PA-43 isn't going to be extremely packed since it is a toll road but not an interstate. We'll find out.

I'm planning to drive to Erie, PA for eclipse. I remember driving to Clemson, SC for the last totality event and holy moly was traffic crazy the day of so I'm ready for it this time. I'm expecting major arteries to be extremely busy. This one'll be my third but hopefully won't be clouded over like my first eclipse.

I'm minorly irked at OPM. Nothing like the terror of sliding down the only way out of your apartment with no control on a side street into a extremely busy and properly salted colesville rd. Feel like today should've been the closure and Tuesday the 2 hour delayed arrival.

Waiting for OPM to make a move (I know it's not going to do anything until way late).

BWI and DCA both record an inch. The streak is over!
That can't be right, apparently 3 miles away in Georgetown there hasn't been a flake all day!

Attempted to drive from Takoma Park to Rockville and turned around. Side roads in surprisingly bad shape apreset and even New Hampshire covered. Saw some cars slipping.
… I was in upstate NY last weekend and the difference in comfort driving in snow always gets me
It's not that I don't trust my own abilities, I don't trust anyone else on driving in snow. I was out earlier and with snow covered road had a person tailgating me with 2 completely open lanes.

Was just driving in Wheaton area. Georgia ave mostly wet. Univ Blvd covered and not in good shape, but Arcola mostly wet. Go figure. Probably treatment related. Temp of 28. Rates aren't bad, but not ideal either. Either way need better flakes. Then need the Eagles to get NAM'd later by Tampa.
University Blvd was covered by 0900 this morning so that does not surprise me. Georgia being a massive first responder artery doesn't surprise me that it's wet. Georgia+Colesville both streets are wet but snow on the edges.

Well, if it did then there wouldn't be a game anyway. The NFL is a ****ing joke anymore.
I don't see how Erie county placing a travel ban effective at 2100 tonight is the NFL's fault. If the NFL was such a joke they'd postpone the KC-Miami game.

Rock Creek at East-West/Beach is over its banks and into the surrounding flood plain. East-West itself is draining enough water that you're spraying water as if it's standing puddle.

Snow and sleet at 47 I call bs lol
Not bs. I'm literally looking out my work window in Bethesda about 50 ft up and watching flakes of snow waft around with rain. Its weird.

Being an early millennial I do remember being sent home early like an hour early during HS (05-06) because of incoming severe weather in Spotsy so while a lot of folks are griping about the early dismissals, its not like its unprecedented. The running theme seems to be making sure the kids are given a window to arrive home safe.

Great use of tax dollars.
Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't spray one snowfall a time ago and some person sued the DOT over an accident they had blaming they didn't treat roads to get out of paying for damages themselves and won. So now its spray all the time just to CYA.

The only thing that sucks about this storm is that it's over the weekend. If it was Friday or Monday, we'd have another 3 day weekend from OPM.
