"walk through" to get to the Metro.

Does anyone no the current rules?

So do you mean that on emergency snow days the bus will not come all the way to town? I recently moved to the Potomac Mills area from Burke, so I just want to make sure I am clear on the bus schedule. Thanks!

You better check your bus line. Some bus lines adjust schedules, pick up points and routes and unless you know what those changes are you may end up waiting for a bus that doesn't come - in fact its already left. If the buses bail out early and you can't leave work you have a problem. If you say "I can catch the train" think about how you will get from the train to your car. That can be a hike. Taxis don't like the snow cause they can't make money. If it starts snowing heavy a lot of folks driving bail out early. Best suggestion I've heard so far for slugs is plan on leaving early. Finally if you are lucky and I pick you up and we get safely to the parking lot (we should, I take the 4WD when it snows and I grew up where it snows a lot, so I know how to drive in the snow) some of the parking lots don't get plowed out very well. That snow that was between cars gets pushed up against cars. You, your car, your hat and a snow pile higher than your car is no fun. Everyone needs a back up plan for when it snows. Best plan, if you can, stay home if the weather forecast says heavy snow through the day. Good luck all. Even the retard trolls on this board begging for tips deserve to get home in ugly weather.

Hug a slug today

now sure where you live but if you live in prince william county i'd suggest taking the omniride. normally they will take you to the springfield metro station and then you take the train to your destination. has worked very well for me for snow days/possible snow days. hope this helps.
