Is a 2 hour delay still on the table for tomorrow (Thursday, 2/5)?

Is a 2 hour delay still on the table or has that ship finally sailed....?

Yes, still have missing lanes on major road as well as kids needing to walk in streets. In addition, any melting today will refreeze overnight.

I think we'll have 2 hr delays all week

I was told by my admin to plan for 2 hr delays all week.

Yes, I think it's on the table. I hope they announce it early rather than waiting until evening like yesterday-- they should have all the info they need after assessing how the morning went today.

They announced it at 2:30

I wish they would announce it earlier because as a teacher it is hard to plan lessons not knowing what the schedule is going to be

???? They announced it around 2:30 on 2/3 for the 2/4 school day. As of 1:30 on 2/4, there has been no announcement for 2/5

I drove on East West Highway into downtown Bethesda at lunch time and saw the kids were forced to step several feet into the road because morons had left a huge, impassable snowbank on the sidewalk at that location, even though the rest of the sidewalk was clear. Just... WHY????

Me again. Not that I think MCPS should implement a 2hr delay just for that. This is for BCC high school, so the kids can manage, and in daylight and with cars slowing down because they're in an urban space, I guess it's "fine". But... the gross snow shoveling incompetence just irritates me.

It was in response to the assertion that MCPS waited until evening to make the call yesterday

Oh you're right, I was thinking of the day before when it was almost 6pm before they announced. Sorry!

Still no announcement, no jinx

I think they will announce whatever they decide for tomorrow, even if it is opening on time. So yes, still on the table. And I think they will delay both Thursday and Friday. All the meeting happening now will freeze overnight.

It is funny to say, but 2-hour delays Thursday and Friday seem like common sense. What a rollercoaster the last two weeks are.
