| 100% snow day. I don’t think it is supposed to stop until 9 or 10 am, so not enough time to clean up before a 10:30 am delay start time. |

This is going to be a 5am call, so go to sleep early.
Here are the issues with the Tuesday morning rush hour: 1. Temps above freezing for most of MoCo. 2. Very intense band of precipitation, which will turn to snow at rush hour for regions north and west of I-95. 3. It's rate of snowfall vs. ground temp: who will win? If there's not enough rain/snow on warm ground, then no delay is warranted. If there's a ton of snow on warm ground, it WILL stick for a short period of time, which will immediately impact rush hour. 4. Since the event starts as rain tonight, roads cannot be pre-treated, so any snow that sticks will be a problem. At this time, it's impossible to determine tomorrow morning's conditions. Do your homework, turn in early, but maybe there will be some delays. |

| Delay would be awesome for the high school kids. They already suffer from lack of sleep |

I tensed up as I opened and read this thread…
…and then I remembered that our kid is a freshman in college and we don’t have to worry anymore what the school system does! Yay! Hang in there! |

+1, this is what is going to happen. It’s far too warm for any impact. |

Go to bed earlier. Put the devices away after dinner. |
