Relatively little wind is expected. We should be fine to open on-time.

The forecast for 7am on Tuesday is 7 with a wind chill of 1. By 9am, the temps are in the teens. MCPS has demanded indoor recess (rather than allowing individual principals to decide) for cold temperatures several days this year, so it follows that logic that dangerously cold temps for students waiting for buses or walking to school will be considered.

I can't pull up the hourly forecast for Wednesday yet, but it's supposed to be colder, which is why I think there will be another delay.

Are you sure you're looking in the right city? I don't see much of a wind chill in MoCo on Tuesday.

Where in MoCo? It's the largest school district in MD.

Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Clarksburg all say no significant wind.

Please. Go to ANY weather app and read. 18 feels like 1 due to wind and wind chills as low as 5 degrees below zero expected 7pm to 10am Cold Weather Advisory.

Alert Montgomery - Cold Emergency Alert
A Cold Emergency Alert has been issued for Montgomery County from 5pm Sunday, 1/19 until 1pm Thursday, 1/23. Residents should be prepared for wind chill values to be below 20 degrees. These dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin within 30 minutes and/or hypothermia. Stay indoors if possible.

The way students wear their winter wear or lack there of, and the long wait at the bus stop—have to walk and get there 10 minutes before. And then sometimes the bus is delayed especially if roads are hazardous. With the wind chill does not seem advisable.

Yes, their parents should advise them to wear a winter coat. Otherwise they'd be cold, but still fine.

Some serious and severe posters this morning.

I think it’s a delay.

It isn't realistic to think that snow and ice need to melt before schools can open. Learn to drive.

Look at the forecast. That's not when kids would be going to school.

Yes, it is.

They can be out in arctic air for half an hour. Doesn’t sound like you’re familiar with the school bus. Unfortunately not everyone is privileged.

MCPS didn’t close for previous polar vortex…

Name a zip code where it is true.

What's your point? They will be cold, but fine, outside for 30 minutes.

Haven't you ever gone outside during the winter?

Any reports from Poolesville?

I don’t think they will get anything from a delay. With a high of 20 tomorrow and 19 on Wednesday, it will not get above freezing to melt anything. Either they open on time both days or they close both days.

Delays are popular with teachers- that's what they get.

From what I understand delays aren’t that great for them either since there is no recess and maybe no breaks during the day with short lunch. But ok….

You mean not working for two hours and getting paid for the full day isn’t a break? Please.

(And I’m a teacher. Please don’t saddle this nonsense post on me and my colleagues.)

A lot of us just work the full day anyway, capitalizing on the rare 2 hours of extra work time. There are a lot of us who show up regular time on delay days for this very reason.

(And I’m also a teacher.)

We’re on the same page. Anyone who thinks teachers are filing their nails or eating bonbons on a “break” from students during the workday is sadly misinformed. I love my breaks from kids because it means I can do the other parts of my job in peace.

My kid has outdoor Ed this week, and as of now, they’re still going. It’s ridiculous.

Many thrift stores have winter coats.
