How Much Snow? North and West to See Significant Accumulation; Less Expected South and East
The storm could bring up to 10 inches of snow in some areas
By Storm Team4 and NBC Washington	• Published March 10, 2017 • Updated on March 13, 2017 at 11:45 pm
Snow began falling Monday evening and will continue to fall at a steady pace overnight.
Expect 1 to 3 inches of snow in D.C., 3 to 6 inches in the north and west suburbs and 6 to 10 inches further north and west.
A winter storm warning for most of the D.C. area will start at 7 p.m. Monday and last until 2 p.m. Tuesday.
How much snow will you get in the nor'easter that is sweeping up the East Coast overnight? Depends on where you live.
Areas south and east of the District -- including southern Maryland -- may see some snow to start, but it will quickly change to sleet and rain. But north and west of the city -- including parts of Montgomery and Frederick counties in Maryland -- is in for much more.
Storm Team4 is calling for 3-6 inches in the closer-in northwest suburbs, and 6-10 inches farther north and west.
Close to the Pennsylvania line, communities could see 10 inches or more of snow.
The storm led some school districts and universities to cancel Tuesday classes, though many large districts have opted to wait for tomorrow morning. Federal workers also don't know yet if they will be allowed to stay home; the federal Office of Personnel Management said it would not make a decision until early Tuesday morning.

But Metro is already changing service, as is Amtrak. Scores of flights were cancelled, especially those headed northeast, where a blizzard warning has been issued for a swath of the East Coast stretching from Philadelphia to Portland, Maine.
Snow will begin falling Monday evening, with most of the area seeing snow by 10 p.m. The heaviest amounts will accumulate between midnight and dawn Tuesday along the I-95 corridor and to the west of it, said Storm Team4 Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer.

Snow will likely change to a mix of snow, sleet and rain in the early hours of Tuesday along I-95 and east of it. It will change back to snow Tuesday morning as the cold air wraps around this storm system. For more weather details and hyperlocal radar, click here.
Most accumulation will end by about noon Tuesday, but some snow showers could continue Tuesday afternoon.
In southern Maryland, the storm will mostly be a rain event, according to Storm Team4. It may start with a little snow on the ground, but will just be rain by Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for most of the D.C. area from 7 p.m. Monday to 2 p.m. Tuesday. A winter weather advisory is in effect during the same time period for Stafford and Spotsylvania counties and Fredericksburg in Virginia and Prince George's, Charles and Anne Arundel counties in Maryland.
Areas north and west of D.C. know what it's like to be in the bull's-eye of storms. News4's Jackie Bensen was in Leesburg, Virginia, with a look at conditions.
"This storm will have significant impacts. It's going to be a heavy, wet snow that will lead to power outages," Storm Team4 Meteorologist Amelia Draper said.
Temperatures Tuesday afternoon will likely climb into the upper 30s, so fallen snow will turn slushy as it melts during the afternoon and evening.
But the rough weather won't end there: Wednesday is looking windy and bitterly cold, with an expected high of 30 degrees and wind chills in the single digits. That means refreezing will remain a threat to the region's roads for much of the work week.
News4's Shomari Stone spent Monday night in Frederick and Montgomery counties as people hunkered down for the storm.
Governments get out the plows
Gov. Larry Hogan (R-Md.) declared a state of emergency, urging Marylanders to use common sense and stay off the roads.
"Our state is taking every precaution and coordinating all available resources to respond to this winter storm," Hogan said. "Now is the time to remain alert and regularly check for updated weather forecasts as conditions change."
Counties, such as Montgomery County, Maryland, which may see relatively little in communities near the northwest D.C. border but far more in Germantown, have a challenge with the changing forecast. So local governments are preparing, salting the roads and calling out snow teams.
In the District, city officials say they're gearing up for what could be a large — or small — snowfall Monday evening into Tuesday. DPW crews started pretreating roads yesterday and plan to have plow trucks in place throughout the city ready to go. News4's Tom Sherwood reports.
"We don't really know at this point how much this will affect the District," Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a press conference, ringed by District leaders in charge of roads, city services and Metro. "We are hoping for the best but as you can see ... all the people behind me are planning for whatever Mother Nature sends our way."
She was called to the White House to discuss snow preparations with President Trump.

In D.C., more than 200 plow trucks were deployed by 7 p.m. Monday; salting streets began on Sunday.
In Maryland, crews began pretreating streets and highways on Sunday with a mix of brine and beet juice that slows ice forming on roads. They pretreated major roads and residential routes with rock salt and brine on Monday.
In Montogmery County, Maryland, they started planning for this storm last Tuesday. And they started treating roads yesterday. Frederick County, Maryland, is also mobilizing for snow. These large counties could see a range of snowfall accumulation, and they are preparing for anything.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency, allowing state agencies to assist local governments in preparation and response to the storm.
"With this forecast in mind, all Virginians should take the necessary precautions now to ensure they are prepared for travel disruptions and possible power outages during a cold weather period," McAuliffe said.
Northern Virginia reporter David Culver checks the readiness of Virginia emergency crews ahead of the coming winter storm.
Many institutions closed for Tuesday, including the Univeristy of Maryland at College Park and Georgetown University. So did school districts where buses have a long way to go on rural roads, including Loudoun, Prince William and Fauquier counties in Virginia and Frederick County in Maryland. For an always-updated list of closures, click here.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management tweeted that it will determine early Tuesday whether federal employees in the D.C. area will have a snow day, the agency said Monday afternoon on Twitter. "Next call is at 3 am, decision by 4 am," the tweet said.
Based on today's region wide conf call; still much uncertainty on rain/snow line & accumulation. Next call is at 3 am, decision by 4 am.

Residents urged to prepare
Government leaders said everyone needs an emergency plan and to use their common sense.
"Don't let the recent mild weather fool you -- it's still winter and this storm is coming," said Gov. Larry Hogan.
The Maryland Emergency Management Agency is telling drivers to stay off the roads during the height of the storm so crews can easily clear highways.
MEMA gave the following storm preparation tips:
Be cautious shoveling snow or ice to avoid overexertion. Take frequent breaks and keep hydrated.
If you must travel, make sure to have car chargers, kitty litter or sand for traction. Let friends or family know of your travel route and expected arrival time.
If it is safe to do so, consider clearing off roofs if significant snow has accumulated.
Know how to contact your power company in the case of a power outage.
Officials are advising property owners to spread rock salt, deicer or non-clumping kitty litter on sidewalks to prevent slips and falls.
Metro changes ahead of the storm
Metro will operate on a Saturday schedule Tuesday, running fewer trains to allow for plowing and safety checks.
Metrorail plans to open as usual at 5 a.m. Tuesday, with service both above and below ground. All stations will be open, but trains will run about every 12 minutes on each line. The Blue and Yellow lines will continue to single-track for SafeTrack repairs
Metrobuses will begin the day on a severe snow service plan with limited routes on major roads.
MetroAccess service was suspended as of 4 p.m. Monday and all day Tuesday due to the impending winter storm.
Service will be restored when it is safe to do so. However, a time for service restoration is not yet known.

Whether it's with a resume or during an interview, a lot of candidates think hiring managers want to know about their roles and responsibilities at their previous jobs. What they really want to hear about is the results that candidates were able to achieve. "Employers don't care about what you did, they want to know how what you did positively impacted the bottom line," says Levit. "Using any performance statistics you can come up with, you should be able to answer the question 'why were your previous organizations better off because you worked there?'" Let's say you are interviewing for a sales position. Instead of saying, "I was responsible for so and so region," a better response would be, "as the sales lead for this territory, I boosted sales 10 percent."
Mistakes happen, but for job seekers it can mean the difference between landing a new gig and collecting another unemployment check. According to Donna Fuscaldo, writing for Glassdoor.com, finding a job isn't an exact science but if job seekers can avoid common snafus it can give them a leg up over the competition, which can be fierce.
From failing to learn about the company ahead of the interview to sending out a general resume to the masses, human resource experts, recruiters and career advisors weigh in to bring you the top ten mistakes job seekers make.

Ranking top 10 number 2 draft picks since 2000
While pick 1 is coveted, there's no shortage of stars who have gone with the at number 2.
Will Guthrie
STAFF WRITER | November 6, 2021 - 11:50am
When it comes to the AFL Draft, Pick 2 is special. Unlike Pick 1, there's significantly less pressure and focus, yet almost the same amount of prestige.
It's a rare case where coming second might actually be better. Oftentimes these players can go about their business, free of the hype that Pick 1 endures.
Similarly, Pick 1 is sometimes a player taken on a needs basis, so may not necessarily be the best young player in the land.
Christian Petracca is a perfect example. Paddy McCartin was taken to fill Nick Riewoldt's enormous shoes, while the best player in the draft slipped to Pick 2. The rest is history.

It's important here that we clarify something. The below are players only from the year 2000 onwards, with legends such as Nigel Lappin and Brad Ottens ineligible. With all of that in mind, we present our top ten number 2 picks.
In any list, there are always those who are unlucky to miss the cut. Honourable mentions need to go to Andrew Walker, who was robbed of Mark of the Year in 2011 and whose athletic prowess was captivating during his career.
Similarly, Andrew Brayshaw appears on track to work his way onto the list one day. A complete, gut-running midfielder, he just needs time.
Finally, Stephen Coniglio would have been a lock two years ago, whoever has experienced a rough patch in his career with form and injury. There's no doubting his ability, hopefully he can rediscover his best form next season.
Justin Koschitzke
After being taken at pick 2 behind a skinny blonde-haired bloke called Riewoldt, 'Kosi' took a year to really arrive on the big stage. It was worth the wait, however, with the second of the Saints' new 'Twin Towers' winning the 2001 Rising Star award.
Throughout his career, he battled injuries, no greater than a fractured skull when he failed to see a Daniel Giansiracusa bump coming. The cumulative effect of all of these setbacks resulted in 'Kosi' failing to reach the lofty heights expected of him.
That being said, at his best he was unstoppable. No greater example can be found than a four-game stretch where he earned 11 Brownlow votes in 2005. Finishing his career on exactly 200 games and 247 goals, Koschitzke's career borders on 'what might have been.'
Tim Taranto
Still young, Taranto makes the cut based not only on his future potential but the fact he already has a GWS Best & Fairest win in 2019. Though injury has curtailed his career at times, Taranto is a bull in the middle.

After 98 games, Taranto has become an integral part of the GWS midfield. Able to win the ball at stoppages, tackle ferociously and go forward to kick goals, his form has been crucial to the Giants' finals hopes each season.
With so much still to come and what appears to be a high ceiling, Taranto is a worthy inclusion on this list.
Josh Kelly
Another of the Giants' top picks, Kelly has become one of the AFL's best movers with ball in hand. An elite runner who uses the ball cleanly on the outside, Kelly has been heavily courted by Victorian clubs numerous times.
It's clear to see why, having won All-Australian selection in 2017, to go with his Best & Fairest wins in 2017 and 2021.
As part of the Giants' leadership group, Kelly is integral to their success and they'll be happy to have locked him in for the rest of his career.
Dale Thomas
At his best, 'Daisy' was arguably the competition's most dynamic player. A skilful wingman who could run all day and kick goals that would bring the crowd to their feet.
Playing 258 games, his best form came during Collingwood's Grand Final years of 2010 and 2011. He finished third in the Norm Smith Medal voting in both 2010 Grand Finals, highlighting his big-game ability.
Earning All-Australian selection in 2011, Thomas was sadly hindered by a serious ankle injury for years, before re-discovering some good form in the final year of his career at Carlton. At his best, he was indisputably an incredible player and entertainer.
Daniel Wells
Another on this list whose career was blighted by injury. Wells first burst onto the scene as a highly-skilled player with incredible aerobic capacity. It's been said that he blew his new teammates away when they witnessed him running 400-metre sprints at Arden St after being drafted.
Despite the injury struggles, Wells still crafted an extremely respectable career. Playing 258 games, he won Best & Fairest's in 2011 and 2013, as well as the AFLCA Best Young Player award in 2004. Wells in top-flight was special.
It's sadly the loss of the football world that we weren't able to see more of Daniel Wells at his best.
Luke Ball
Without wanting to sound like a broken record, Luke Ball is another who had his fair share of injury battles. A highly-touted prospect coming out of high school in the 2001 SuperDraft, Ball battled osteitis pubis early in his career.

Managing to overcome that hurdle through sheer dedication and professionalism, Ball won All-Australian selection in 2005, as well as the Saints Best & Fairest that same year. He went on to captain the club in 2007.
After somehow falling out of favour under Ross Lyon, Ball walked to Collingwood for nothing. If that weren't painful enough for Saints fans, Ball then won the 2010 premiership against his old club. It says a lot about the man that he was muted in his celebrations, a class act to the end.
Related: Ranking the top 10 number 1 draft picks
Perhaps stiff to be this low on the list, Cotchin has perhaps the most impressive CV on this list. A fantastic leader at Tigerland, he has been exceptional for years, leading the club through their most successful era.
A triple premiership Captain, 2012 Brownlow Medal winner, All-Australian in 2012 and triple Best & Fairest winner (2011, 2012 & 2014), Cotchin has done it all. Off the field, he has been instrumental in developing the winning culture currently in place at the Tigers.
With all of that said, if you were drafting for impact or game-changing x-factor, he would slide below the top 3. That's not meant as disrespect for a man who has achieved everything and carried himself with aplomb throughout his career.
Nic Naitanui
Just nudging out Cotchin into 3rd spot, 'NicNat' has been instrumental to the Eagles for over a decade since being drafted. Not only one of the game's most charismatic figures, his sheer athleticism for his size almost defies belief.
A triple All-Australian (2012, 2020, 2021) and dual Best & Fairest winner (2020, 2021), the Ruckman has played over 200 games in a career where he has lost more than two seasons to injury.
At his best, an unstoppable force in the ruck, Naitanui's aerial prowess and phenomenal tap work have him in the conversation every year as the best big man in the land.
Christian Petracca
Were this list made 12 months ago, things may be different. However, there's really no debating it anymore. Petracca is an absolute star of the game. Staggeringly overlooked at pick 1 by the Saints, their loss has been the Demons gain.
A dual All-Australian (2020, 2021), as well as the 2020 Best & Fairest winner for the Dees, he this year added a premiership and Norm Smith Medal to the collection, cementing his superstar status.
With so much of his career still to play out, there is plenty of time for this explosive bull, with an eye for goal, to take the number one spot on this list.
Jarryd Roughead
It was always going to be a battle to knock this man from top spot. An athletic key forward capable of playing all across the ground at his peak, 'Roughie' was a colossus.
A four-time premiership player (2008, 2013, 2014, 2015), dual All-Australian (2013, 2014) and Coleman Medal winner in 2013, Roughead had the kind of career everyone dreams of.
SEE ALSO: Redrafting the top 10 of the 2013 Draft
One of the game's most popular figures, 'Roughie' captained the Hawks from 2017 until his retirement in 2019. He not only holds the record for most games played by a number 2 pick (283), but also comfortably has the most goals, having kicked 578 in during his storied career.

Gmail or Outlook? The common question you have when deciding you need an online email account. Make the wrong decision and you are stuck with it forever.
Gmail has effectively ruled the competitive land of email services that are web-based.
Not only that, it has done that for years.
However, slowly but surely, other email service providers are picking up the pace and moving closer to Gmail in terms of offering the best email service that they possibly can.
One of the contenders now is Microsoft.
Outlook or Gmail? Easy. Outlook.
Microsoft, with its Outlook.com email service, has improved leaps and bounds in the last couple of years.
Not only that, it has improved so much that now it is a legitimate force to be definitely reckoned with.
Of course, Outlook.com has not reached that stage yet where the community confidently considers it and declares Microsoft Outlook.com as a superior email service when compared to Gmail for people who want to check their emails online.
However, what everyone can agree on is that there are close to nine really cool tricks that Microsoft Outlook.com can offer to users via its webmail service that Google Gmail currently cannot (or does not want to) match.
Readers should understand here that this guide is going to focus on the free version of Outlook.com email web interface.
This is the email service that is available to anyone and everyone who has signed up for a free Microsoft account.
So this means we would not discuss the desktop version of Microsoft Outlook that people can make use of as a part of their Microsoft Office purchase.
Of course, we are completely aware of the fact that there is some stuff that Gmail can easily do but Microsoft Outlook.com cannot.
However, since we respect that, we will have to make the readers wait for a bit before we write another guide on the advantages of using the Gmail email service over all others.
So let's get to it.
Pin messages to the very top
Drop those GIFs right into the messages easily and quickly
Modify the email conversation order
Sweep away all email messages
Filter emails very quickly
Go dark right now
Edit all Office documents
Distraction free mode for reading email messages
Install add-ons, more of them
Simply put, Microsoft Outlook.com allows users to pin their most important and critical email messages right to the top of their default inbox.
In order to pin a given message, all that the user has to do is to hover over that specific message and then click the icon that comes in the shape of a pin.
Readers should know that this same cool trick also works with any given subfolder.
This ensures that users can have pinned email not just for their important tasks but also for,
And probably any other kind of folders that the user may have made.
Of course, this is where we should mention that Gmail accomplishes the same thing with the help of stars.
Moreover, it offers users multi-colored icons in the shape of starts if we're talking specifics.
And that does make it very simple for users to find all of their important email messages.
However, while Gmail pins or starred email messages do tend to stay at the very top of the user's Primary tab, Gmail does not keep them at the top of the user's inbox.
Or even at the top of the user-defined label that the user has assigned those messages to in order to have an easy viewing experience.
In the modern world of the internet, who needs to make use of words anyway?
Microsoft Outlook.com realizes that and has thus provided users with a tool that makes it very easy for them to drop those GIFs directly into the body section of their email messages
All that users have to do is to first go to the official compose window for a new message and then click on the emoji button present there.
This action would switch a section of the screen to the GIFs tab.
From this tab, the user can actually run a search.
Moreover, when the user has found something that is suitable to his needs and tastes, all that he/she has to do in order to insert that GIF to the email message is to click the insert button.
On the other hand, Gmail allows users to add GIFs to their outgoing email messages as well.
However, the process that Gmail wants users to follow is nowhere near as simple as Outlook.com's.
To do the same in Gmail, first, the user has to download an animated image and save it someplace easy to remember and ready to upload.
Another way to do the same in Google Gmail is by dragging a GIF straight from the web browser tab to the concerned file window.
In other words, Gmail does not offer users any integrated search feature.
And hence users do not get to experience that single-click GIF insert.
Online consumers have a bad habit of taking things for granted.
And one of the things that everyone takes granted for today is the conversation view.
Truth be told, it was Gmail that actually pioneered the now ubiquitous conversation view.
Thanks to Google no one clearly remembers email threads that actually appeared as single individual messages on the screen.
However, after having fully copied that conversation view feature from Gmail, Outlook.com actually gives something extra to the user.
What is that extra feature?
That extra feature is the ability of the email service to show the user the latest message at the very top.
There is no doubt about the fact that Gmail also collapses the user's conversation threads to the latest message being in a place that is very easy for the user to find and then have a look at.
However, a lot of the times it means that the user has to do a lot of scrolling before he/she can actually see the message.
Things change in Outlook.com.
Here all that the user has to do is to click the icon that comes in the shape of a cog located in the top right corner of the screen and then select the option that says Newest Messages on Top which appears right under the heading that says Conversation view.
Microsoft Outlook.com provides this handy tool d of sweeping away one's messages in order to set up a simple and quick rule which is based on the sender.
In order to get started with feature, the user first has to click on an individual message and then look at the top in order to see the option of Sweep.
This is where the user can get a little creative.
The option allows users to set certain emails to simply bypass their inbox.
Or if that doesn't work, then the user can also set a rule which enables the given email message to bypass the user's main inbox only after a total of 10 days have actually passed.
On the face of it, it works pretty much like a crazy-simple method of configuring a working and efficient email filter.
There is little doubt about the fact that filters are pretty much one of the best things about the Gmail email service.
Moreover, users can create filters from individual emails as well.
However, what Gmail does not offer is the feature of Sweep.
To take an example, Gmail does not have the ability to automatically archive older messages from a given sender for the user while keeping the recent ones in the inbox.
Microsoft Outlook.com caters to people who have very specific needs and wants.
If the user wants to see only the biggest email in his/her Outlook.com message inbox then Outlook.com can do that.
And if the user wants to see that same biggest email in a specific folder, then Outlook.com can do that as well.
To get started, the user first has to click the button that says Filter and appears on the right-hand side of the screen.
After that, the user should select the option that says Sort by.
And then move forward by selecting the option Size.
Users also have the option of getting their email messages grouped by a particular sender and that too in the folder that they are viewing at the moment.
To do that, the user first has to click on Filter.
Then the user must hit Sort by.
And then perform a click on From.
It turns out, Gmail also has the capacity to help our users to find email below or above a certain given size.
However, again, what Gmail service cannot do for the user is to sort messages by nothing but size.
It can't do that in the user's main inbox.
And it can't do that across a specific label.
Apart from that, Gmail also cannot group the user's messages by their sender.
This is also something that Outlook.com can do right out of the box.
Gmail can though, return back a search results page based on the user's criteria (as in, if the user defines the criteria to be size or a given label).
Our research shows that Outlook.com currently has a rather fine looking user interface Dark Mode.
Users have the option of enabling the Dark Mode feature by simply performing a click on the icon that comes in the shape of a cog on the right-hand side of the screen.
Form the resulting menu, the user should look for the option Dark Mode.
Then the user should toggle the switch to On.
Microsoft Outlook also provides users with the ability to Turn on The Lights only on individual messages that come in the user's inbox.
Users can do that by performing a click on the icon that comes in the shape of sunshine just above the message's header.
Of course (another of course, of course) users can easily give Gmail the instruction to go dark as well.
However, to do so the user first has to go into the Themes section of the email service.
This is no option of simply flicking a Dark Mode switch.
The other problem with Gmail's dark themes is that they don't really affect the actual body of the message that the user is viewing.
Not only that, but the dark mode in Gmail does not even affect the pop-up menus.
The Gmail dark mode doesn't work on the email service's compose window either.
So for now, all the dark mode fans should give Microsoft Outlook.com a try and see that works best for them.
As one would understandably expect, Microsoft Outlook.com has the ability to handle all Office attachments.
This means users should have no problems in opening up messages that contain files from,
It doesn't just handle them, it handles them very well.
With Outlook.com users have the option of previewing files and also editing them inside the web browser.
Moreover, while doing so, they can also visibly see the linked email thread on the side.
All of that comes to the Outlook.com user thanks to that good old 'help' from Microsoft Office Online (expensive) suite.
We are aware of the fact that it is perhaps not really fair to mention Outlook's Office feature without mentioning what Gmail has to offer.
Gmail has the ability to integrate rather superbly well with the company's own set of productivity tools such as,
However, Gmail doesn't allow users to preview and edit these from within the email thread.
If users want to edit them, they cannot rely on the email thread still being on the screen to provide them with easy reference.
Of course, for Office loyalists, there is no doubt who is the winner here.
And it is Microsoft Outlook.com.
The other great thing about Microsoft Outlook.com is that it brings with it a very nifty tool for distraction-free email message viewing.
Users of other online services such as Pocket and/or Instapaper would know what it feels like to have a clean interface for reading stuff.
In any case, users who want to enable this feature first have to right-click a specific email address and then pick the option that says Show in Immersive Reader.
After that, Microsoft Outlook.com should strip away everything on the page except the text.
Not only that, Microsoft Outlook.com also has the ability to read out the email out loud to the user.
On the other hand, Gmail doesn't really offer users anything like it.
Of course, users can turn on the full-screen mode and then send messages to their recipients.
Our research shows that the full-screen mode is also pretty useful if the user does not ant his/her eyes to wonder over all of his/her other labels or various incoming messages.
Although we should perhaps mention here that the full-screen feature really only works efficiently for long missives.
Like, really long ones.
However, it is a neat little tool to have in one's email service arsenal.
Our research shows that both Outlook.com and Gmail.com support third-party add-ons from developers.
However, Microsoft Outlook.com with its simple email platform offers users a lot more add-ons than Gmail.
That may be because of the fact that Outlook.com has been around the block for a considerable longer period of time than Gmail.
In order to get started on this, the user first has to click the symbol which comes in the shape of a down arrow in the relevant compose message window.
After that, the user must click the option that says Get Add-ons and then see what Outlook.com is offering users to go ahead and install.
Our research shows that there are more than 200 Microsoft Outlook.com.
But we can't tell the exact number because that would require us to go through the complete list which might give us eye strain.
Readers should remember here that Outlook.com offers popular service plug-ins such as those of,
As mentioned just now the list is very long so we can't mention them all here.
Users who want to access add-ons on Gmail should click the icon in the shape of a cog.
If we compare these add-ons to what Outlook.com has to offer, then Gmail has a total of 68 official add-ons and/or plug-ins to Outlook.com's over 200 at the time of writing this report.

The ability to create 10 email alias addresses in Outlook makes it better for me. I mainly use Gmail for Google Voice features, and it seems to handle POP account setups easier.

Hi Jack.
We're glad Outlook is working out for you.
To be fair, plenty of people like Google Inbox better than Gmail.
Google killed Inbox and now risk people moving to Outlook.

Hi Jamie.
Thanks for the comment and yes.
After factory reset will I be able to change from gmail?
Hi Jamie Blevins.
We see no reason why you cant.

Great post thank you. Currently researching moving from Groupwise to Gmail and need to get some balanced opinions on the pro's and con's. We are predominately using GSuite for education (we are a large college) and Gmail seems the obvious choice, but Outlook seems to dominate business outside of education, so thanks again for the wider perspective.

Gmail is cumbersome, and does not have the features you need if you live in email

Gmail only works as IMAP in MS Outlook program, where as Outlook email works as an exchange server in the Outlook program.

thank you for this article, it definitely shows Gmails' advantages over Outlook, and the myriad of weird and useless features that makes Outlook an unusable kludge for me

I cannot agree anymore. lol
If you have too much time for your work, properly Outlook is your best bet.
Hi Roy.
It really depends on one's own situation and work requirements but yes, Outlook is pretty good.

Appreciating this great post, I must say, Outlook is still a laggard with tons of features unavailable, compared to gmail. Like, Scheduling email is unavailable till now, rules don't work efficiently(legit mails keep getting into spam folder), free mail tracking add ons are unavailable. Although it's true that Gmail is mostly used by individuals for non-business purposes, Outlook is more preferred for business users because of its integration with O365 & presence in this segment for over 25 years.

TaylorMade TP xFT wedges are the first exchangeable face wedges designed to keep grooves at peak performance. When grooves wear down, spin rates drop and launch angle increases, limiting performance and precision. Exchanging the club-face allows users to boost performance and keep the wedge they have grown accustomed to in play.
The face is four-step CNC-milled, while the stock shaft is a KBS High-Rev designed to help create increased spin at impact.
$49 used rack special, looks like it was swung twice, and has a nice red golfpride wrap style grip. 16deg bounce got it for sand.
I am blown away by the feel, the spin and the performance of these wedges. Might not be the perfect ones for some, but I think almost any amateur will find improved spin and accuracy with these new wedges. Plus, you get an extra face with every club right now. Don't wait, if you're wedges are getting worn, run, don't walk, to your favorite golf emporium and buy these wedges! You won't be disappointed.

Suited Caribou Media is a Glasgow based company that specialises in post production work in the film and television industry.
Originally founded on 2 February 2013 as Mr Q Media, the company was setup by Chris Quick who served as the Head of Post Production for Quick Off The Mark Productions from October 2009 to February 2016. The companies main function was to provide a banner for Quick to operate under whilst working outside of QOTMP. It was decided in 2015 that Quick Off The Mark Productions would cease trading in 2016 following the decision by his fellow colleague, Mark D. Ferguson, to move to Canada. Following that decision, Quick decided to turn to Mr Q Media full time and relaunched it as Suited Caribou Media on 30 June 2015.
Over the last few years, the company has been involved in many and varied projects including Broken Record, Electric Faces, Fanatic and The Greyness of Autumn which also marked his directorial debut. In addition to this, Quick has also served as the deputy director of the Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance which he established with Andrew O'Donnell in 2011.
Alongside post production services, Suited Caribou Media also provides behind the scenes photography services. Examples of our work can be seen on our gallery page.
Currently we are working on Autumn Never Dies, the sequel to the short puppet film The Greyness of Autumn.
