| Do we think OPM will allow telework or early dismissal tomorrow given the possibility of storms rolling in and everyone having to leave at the same time to get kids from school? I have a lot of leave, so I’m trying to figure out if I should go in early and plan to leave early, take leave, or run to my office to grab my computer to telework. |

I don't see snow. I doubt if it is just rain. |

| This has nothing to do with snow or rain – but with tornadoes and downed trees. |

| Go early and leave early. If you have leave, use it. |

School systems are already tracking it, potential early closures. |

Is snow the only reason for telework/early dismissal? Does OPM consider tornadoes and derechos “just rain?” |

| I’m planing to go in early and leave after lunch. Will take leave if needed. I’m not driving home in that storm. |

I just told my husband I’m flexing early tomorrow - I’ll get in by 6 and leave at lunch. If we get 2 hours, great. If not, it will be two hours of well used leave. |

My office is outside the Beltway and tends to close less than OPM, so this is my plan as well. |

| We are allowed to telework after spending more than half the day in the office. I will telework and finish the day at home if it seems prudent tomorrow (commute time does not count of course) |

| Even a 2 or 3 hour early release would put people starting a commute right when things are supposed to kick off at 2/3/4pm, probably not the best idea. Option to telework seems to most prudent, especially given some strong storms are expected earlier in the morning as well. |

Dear OPM,
People desperately want and need telework! Please allow us to go back to the level of telework pre-pandemic. At my agency, it was 2 to 3 days per week. Thank you! |

| Telework or early release? |

Well you know how these people are, so probably open as usual. If it were me making the call, I'd let everyone leave by noon and give option to telework. |

They were actually pretty reasonable with the recent snow storms so maybe that will continue |
