Temperatures are expected to reach 60 again today with a mild, breezy and dry day expected. Temperatures will fall rapidly tonight, with overnight rain likely changing to snow for most of the area by early Sunday morning.
The latest map by the National Weather Service has all of MoCo in the 1-2″ range, with ~55% chance at over an inch of snow. This won’t be a crippling storm, but more likely just some flakes to set the mood for the Super Bowl. Temperatures will hover around freezing throughout the day tomorrow and will drop below freezing tomorrow night.

Dear MCPS Families,
The Washington Post published an Op-Ed Friday morning written by Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones.
Jones talks about last month’s shooting at Magruder High School, and the fact that several students who are alleged to have witnessed or known about the shooting, posted on Twitter and Snapchat about the incident instead of calling 9-1-1.

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Feb. 10, 2022/PRNewswire/ — Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, today announced that NVX-CoV2373, its recombinant nanoparticle protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, achieved its primary effectiveness endpoint in the pediatric expansion of its PREVENT-19 pivotal Phase 3 trial and demonstrated 80% efficacy overall at a time when the Delta variant was the predominant circulating strain in the U.S. The study enrolled 2,247 adolescents aged 12 through 17-years across 73 sites in the U.S. to evaluate safety, effectiveness (immunogenicity), and efficacy, with an emphasis on ensuring well balanced racial and ethnic representation among participants.
“We are encouraged by the results in this adolescent population given the ongoing need for alternative vaccine options for COVID-19,” said Filip Dubovsky, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Novavax. “We believe the Novavax vaccine offers a differentiated technology and option for this younger population given its established protein-based technology already used in other vaccines, and the positive responses demonstrated against variants.”
