Well.  Here we are.

I think the euro is wrong here. It’s always too dry with these things.

Canadian looked similar, but it did have a 1.2" bullseye for SBY

What time is this to occur?

I've got a good feeling about this storm.

I don't know about other counties, but Fairfax is still a mess from the "snowcrete".  We have one lane roads in neighborhoods everywhere, and may of the buses are still sitting in snowy parking lots. I honestly can't imagine how schools will go back tomorrow. Another 1-2" on freezing roads will close us on Wednesday.  What are other counties like?

I split time between Odenton, MD and Colesville, MD - both still have serious issues - especially side roads. Both counties seem to be working hard (but slowly) with big machines to widen the main roads. Sidewalks in a lot of communities are abysmal (even HOA places). I even filed a complaint with Anne Arundel County about the HOAs failure to remotely clear the sidewalks of ice a week after the storm. They switched snow removal contractors sometime between last winter and this winter - the new folks SUCK. 

My neighborhood in Colesville is notorious for people leaving their cars parked on the road before a snowstorm - and this led to my dead end street being a single file lane...and the county hasn't returned to widen it at all.

Welcome.  I assume you scheduled your first kick in the plums session?  Next one is Wednesday.  There will be other sessions so don’t fret if you miss this one.  We will find you.

Right where we want it.  

[GreyHat]

06z - 18z the system has gotten weaker and seems further south. Which could be due to the system by NY.

Yeah where I am (the southern part of the county) there are turn lanes onto the FFX Co Parkway that are still not clear.  Wild, I can't remember the last time it was like this with the cleanup.

I'm an FCPS teacher - the opening paragraph in an internal email from the superintendent implied they are still deciding whether it's safe to open tomorrow.  Word is supposed to come out this afternoon, but they are running out of "afternoon."

I know this stuff often turns into a big debate, but if the argument for not sending kids to school is lack of shoveled sidewalks or lack of plowed turn lanes, what's the end game with that? Aside from south facing surfaces, melting this week will not be significant. So then you're talking about keeping them home again this week??? What if sidewalks are still shit come Friday when the arctic front comes through? Then you keep them home the following as well? There aren't enough willing bodies to clear sidewalks that have yet to be touched....its a waiting game on a melt out at this point.

Sublimation is our friend

Yeah I'm not sure there's a "good" answer.  Transitioning to remote learning sucks, but maybe that's better than closing and safer than trying to force people in?  I really don't know.

FCPS closed by the way.

This is probably pretty off topic here though, so I'll leave it at that.
