Beginning January 10, 2022, due to the growing absenteeism rates across service areas related to COVID illness and exposures, Metrobus will run on a Saturday Supplemental schedule during the weekdays (Monday through Friday), until further notice.
Pet WMATA:
A Winter Storm Watch has been issued as close as Frederick County. The reason MoCo is not yet under anything is because a Watch is issued when there is confidence for 5 inches or more. As of now, the National Weather Service has most of MoCo in the 4-5″ range, with a south/east MoCo in the 3-4” range, and Upper MoCo in the 5-8’”range. The Watch areas will likely turn into Winter Storm Warnings, and we can easily see a Watch put in place later today, especially for Upper MoCo if the confidence for more snow is there. Either way, I suspect at least an Advisory for all of MoCo.
Fox 5 has weighed in with its First Call Map and approximately 2/3 of MoCo is in the 4-8” range with South/East MoCo in the 2-4” range.
Update from Montgomery County Emergency Management: NB Frederick Rd (MD 355) between Shady Grove Rd and S. Westland Dr. reopened from earlier traffic incident. Expect residual delays.

Dear MCPS Community,
National chain Dollar Tree, which has MoCo locations in Derwood, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Montgomery Village, Rockville, and Silver Spring, has raised the price of all items in their stores from $1 to $1.25.
According to Market Watch, Dollar Tree says the higher prices are not a result of inflation, but rather to allow the company to offer a wider range of merchandise.
This past summer we let you know that El Mercat Bar De Tapas will be taking over the spot that was most recently home to Gumbo Ya Ya, at 101 Gibbs Street Unit C in Rockville Town Square.
Now we know the restaurant will hold a special friends & family dinner where guests can purchase $75 tickets to the event.
