[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the one who said that barring more snow they should be able to open and here is why. It stopped snowing between 10-11 am, and while some parts of the County had more than a foot of snow most of it had less and the roads are clear. Sidewalks are a different issue but they can't wait to open until everyone does their own sidewalks. They are responsible for the sidewalks leading up to the school. If it stopped snowing at 11, and school opens at 7:30 am the next day, that is plenty of time to get parking lots, sidewalks and roads cleared -- the 16" part of the County would take more time, but the roads were quite good by 4 pm. Anyway, it snowed again so moot. [/quote] Roads were quite good by 4pm (Thursday)? Where do you live? My street just saw its first plow at noon Friday. Even without the extra snow, school was a definite no-go today (in fact, so obviously a no-go, that they announced it Thursday afternoon, almost unheard of for MCPS). Your definition of "most" of the county needs to be re-evaluated. Here's what NBC4 says for snow totals in Montgomery County: Montgomery County Damascus- 21.3 1 S Olney- 19 1 Ese Norbeck -17.9 1 Ene Gaithersburg- 17.6 1 Nne Washington Gro -17 Hillandale - 15.8 1 Nne Fairland- 14 1 Ese Takoma Park- 10.1 Clearly "some" parts of the county had a foot and most got way way less. :roll: [/quote]
