[quote=Anonymous]The problem with Atlanta, as highlighted by Capital Weather Gang (quoting someone from NWS, I believe), was that the state/officials read reports of 70% chance of "good" and didn't account for the 30% chance of "bad". Very interesting. If they shut things down for only 30% bad expectation and they're in a reality of the 70%, they get slammed for being idiotic. But instead they went with the "probably won't happen" and it was their Commutageddon.

Tomorrow's forecast seems highly unstable (trace close to DC, several inches in Northern MoCo.) It will be interesting to see what MCPS decides. I hope their decision will be correct. If it isn't, I hope that the public will at least consider what the possible outcomes could have been. And I hope that everyone learns something from the lesson of Atlanta.

I do believe that the Fed Govt's decisions the last couple of years have been to avoid another Commutageddon. As much as I don't like the decisions, I'm happy to avoid another 7-hour commute.

My personal expectation is that MCPS/Starr will wait until after midnight to make a decision to see if temps drop faster than anticipated.
