Do you think APS will close Wednesday too?

[Anonymous]

I think so based on the lack of plowing I’ve seen.

Arlington county sent out an email tonight saying crews are behind because of Covid absenteeism. Additionally, I think we’re gonna have problems if people (like in my hoood) did not shovel today as it’s going to ice over and will be very difficult to remove tomorrow/Wednesday. It’s a consideration for the decision makers when it comes to bus stops and walkers.

Imagine that- staffing issues due to COVID positives. But that won’t happen with school staff because kids need to be in school.

I’m guessing a delay. Think it will depend on how much they can get plowed by tomorrow night and how much ice there is.

+1. To a certain extent APS is first dependent on the County to clear roads. Homeowners have a legal responsibility to clear their sidewalks within 24hrs of snow stopping. If the county can't clear the streets, whether APS has sufficient staff becomes irrelevant.

They'll definitely delay, and if they can justify it at all they will close

They will be closed in my opinion.

At least a delay, maybe closed.

As of Monday night, the roads and streets are still pretty awful.

I just got back from walking my dog and I would be astonished if the streets and sidewalks will have improved enough in 24 hours

Crossing my fingers, but eeeeesh. It's a mess

This is their map of what has been done. But, even my neighborhood, which is supposedly fully plowed, is barely passable.

I'm upgrading to a full closure tomorrow. Neighborhood streets are still untouched.

Yeah, I don’t think so either. The problem is it will barely get above freezing today, just long enough for the ice to melt a little then re-freeze. It won’t be above freezing for a significant length of time until after 10am tomorrow. I don’t think anything will be safely navigable until then.

So school Thursday, then more snow 😩
