What? everyone just had a bunch of time off. There is 0 reason to cancel "early" for this type of storm. Could be nothing/minor inconvenience/or even a boom, but they can wait until morning to see how it pans out.

There are THREE 5 day weeks in Dec without a day off. Not even an early dismissal or late opening on Dec 8th in a majrity Latino county school district.

And what does that have to do with what I posted? There's no reason to cancel early - just wait until the morning.

No one knows what YOU posted. anonymous

Why did someone feel the need to write a whole novel about this on the MCPS home page? Get a life. Probably one same person who wrote the “great news!” email last year.

Not really. Mcps staff is using AI for just about everything now.

So what are people's predictions... what this post is actually supposed to be about?

[Anonymous]

30% chance, just because of that northern edge of MCPS that might get freezing rain... the immense majority of MoCo dwellers will see 100% rain.

I’m in Burtonsville, I think we will get rain with a tiny amount of freezing rain or sleet.
I predict a 2 hour delay though because they will
Want to play it safe for the Damascus area.

Fauquier and Loudoun announced 2 hour delay several hours ago--I think the wapo graphic predicting 60% was posted after that....

And yes, I recognize that that would prioritize the Christian holidays based on Federal holidays, but that is better than allowing for EVERY religion to need their own holidays off. It will never end as so many religions are followed here.

That would leave more wiggle room for snow days without impacting the summer vacation.

I agree with this. Accommodating days off for Yom Kippur and opened MCPS up to claims of favoritism and inequality and now MCPS is taking off on Diwali to avoid criticism from Indian families. There’s no way to have off on every single community’s holidays. So stick to the federal and state-mandated ones and give people religious leave for the rest.

No there is zero reason Public schools close for Christian holidays.

Absolutely no. If you close for Christmas, they close for Yom Kippur. Or Diwali or whatever but it's absurd we close a week at Christmas and Easter.

And a month worth of crap in school teaching elementary school students to color christmas trees.

Until very recently, Christmas and Easter were the holidays for more than 90%. If you want to have state-sanctioned Diwali days, move back to India.

People live in Damascus. And N. It's a big county.

School is very likely, no delay. Even MOCO Snow agrees.
