Ice is more of an issue today than Tuesday. I'm seeing 30.1 degrees on my outdoor weather station and the clouds are letting in enough sun that there's steady drippage from the roof line now. It's making some fantastic icicles but some nasty slicks on the driveway.
Right about 2" of new snow today in downtown Silver Spring and currently its very, very lightly snowing
It's a Friday, though. The critical workers will be onsite no matter what OPM says and the less critical will choose to telework.
I'm just not sure how big the Venn diagram is of OPM-covered employees who would stay home on a Code Red but will drive in on a liberal leave Friday.
What's the point post-2020? "Your co-workers demanded telework privileges, so you better spend the day working your regular duties while it snows" is hardly exciting to wake up to.
I just drove to Greenbelt and can't say that I see any signs of mixing myself. (not that I'm doubting you)
Edit - it took a minute but now I see a bit of slop starting.
Overnight high in Silver Spring was 41.2 at around 2am, with minimum pressure of 29.12 inHg. Now down to 33 again, pressure holding near the bottom still.
No clear ice remains. The snow is spotty and wet.
31.1 and all rain (I think...) in Silver Spring. The snow that was pure powder at 530pm is now crusty and crunchy, but no visible ice on the trees yet.
Well, the sledding was remarkably good this late afternoon, but we've switched to mostly sleet now in Silver Spring. Temperature up from 23.9 to 26.1 in about 1.5 hrs.
