Snow day Friday? Sigh.

[Anonymous]

Capital Weather Gang is giving us a pretty good chance of a couple of inches Thursday night. It's going to be well below freezing and the high Friday is 30. Sigh. What a waste of a week.

You’re alive! Presumably you’re healthy! It will be cold enough to snow! You have a child! These are such blessings. Don’t have time to focus on the negative so much (I know, you’d have more time for counting your blessings if your kid was in school!). Seriously though…

Teach your child to shovel! A life skill.

I really miss the days when this kind of thing was my biggest problem.

I’m mad because if we didn’t have all of this other garbage happening this week, we could have more than maybe 1 day of school out of five.

The thing is, after no school for a year and no daycare for most of a year, I am out of leave. I don’t get a snow day just because the kids do, so now I am, once again, juggling work responsibilities with parenting responsibilities for my 3 and 6 year olds). DH is in the same situation. Also we are both struggling with mental health after 2 years of this BS, and while the kids had lots of fun in the snow the last couple of days, they are tired of being out of their routine and behaving accordingly. My kindergartner is desperate to get back to school and friends.

Yes, we can county our blessings, and we do. But this weather, welcomed in other years, is hard for some of us. Hard.

There is no longer snow forecasted for Friday.

A couple of inches isn't likely to close the schools. Monday was heavy snow that accumulated very quickly. They are saying now that it's likely just 1-3 inches and not as intense. If they close school for that, it would be both out of character for DCPS and stupid.

Maybe not in a crappy weather app, but CWG is still calling for it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2022/01/05/dc-area-forecast-cloudy-cold-today-tomorrow-more-snow-possible-thursday-night/

The fact that it would be stupid but also plausible is why I expect it to happen.

You have time to say this kind of judgy shyt on DCUM, so there's that. If you were so freaking busy, you wouldn't even be on here, or at least you wouldn't have time to participate in threads you don't relate to/aren't interested in.

It depends when it falls.

This week is a write-off. They should listen to this call of the wild and use it as the gift it is.

It should end by sunrise. Not sure if that's better or worse.
