I came into the city from Tysons around 11:30 for a meeting and left around 2:30 and it was fine inbound and maybe slightly more congested earlier than usual outbound. I was expecting it to be a nightmare. Avoiding the area around Mt Vernon Square/Convention Center and the WH are key. And, if you can, maybe come in late and stay late?

I was thinking of leaving at 6 and taking Clara Barton instead of GW Pkwy to avoid certain streets. I deeply dislike the metro and will just see how it goes tomorrow driving.

Telework! Not worth the hassle. It should be bad through Thursday.

It was horrific both ways. Parking too.

It was rough this morning at 7:45. Recommend staying home if you can.

wednesday and thursday are the actual meetings. fed triangle and mt vernon metro stops are closed. it is currently much faster to walk in 95° weather than drive anywhere.

OPM has given unscheduled telework all week for a good reason.

I took the metro rather than driving. Was glad I did.

DH commutes from McLean and turned around and came back home today. Roads into the DC just weren’t moving.

Please telework. It is terrible and the last thing we need to do is have people come in who don't have to.
