The people in the suburb. What is their plan? Stay inside until next Tuesday? It won't be above 0 until Tuesday. Won't school open?

I walked past the kids' elementary school on my way home. Part of the sidewalk is a little icy but generally safe. Wisconsin is open. The Wisconsin sidewalk is generally safe, except that you have to walk slowly over the bumps of snow. Buses are running. Many kids are out. It is a beautiful day. At least for Northwest schools, Janney, Mans, Hearst, and Murch, I don't see how it is dangerous to go to school tomorrow.


My elementary-age kids go to one of those schools and have been walking there since yesterday to meet up with friends! Our car got plowed in, which was annoying, but it wasn't that hard to shovel it out. All to say, we probably could have had school today even and been fine ...


You can walk what about the employees who must drive. Congrats on your area being clear. It’s amazing to think that others have not been touched at all.


those who has to drive don't have to come to work. Most of the roads near DC is clear.


The roads are clear but the cars are encased in a berm of solid ice.


The wintry mix stopped falling 40 hours ago. Why haven’t people done their shoveling?


You can't "shovel" a wall of solid ice.

There are secondary roads where people live that were not plowed and that are now a sheet of ice and not driveable. Does that make sense. They can’t plow the ice it’s to late.


The PP said roads are clear but cars are stuck. Why are those cars still stuck?

I did my car and my driveway the problem is the road. The secondary roads in many places are still covered in ice. Like mine there is no escape out of the neighborhood. There is no pavement just a sheet of ice . I am sure I am
not the only one

As someone asked well are we supposed to wait a week? I guess that depends on when dc, Arlington, Fairfax, moco get there acts together and get to the secondary roads.

As the world's No. 1 developed country, it is pretty astonishing. People are stuck inside their houses, and kids have no school for aweek due to 1 day of snow.

The solipsism of the DCUM crowd is on full display. Let them eat cake!

I think the issue is this ridiculous dependence on cars in this country. That itself creates all kinds of inequality.

Amazing 🤩


Country club!!


Poors, you are being trolled.

Kids are not encouraged to “hang out” at country clubs. It's not the YMCA. They may be there to use the weight room but there is a reason people pay for country clubs and the atmosphere, and it’s not so it can be used as a playground or a teen hangout spot. - signed member



By hang out, that means doing specific indoor activities with coaching and direct supervision, along with grabbing food from the restaurant. Yes, this isn’t the YMCA and we pay for the amenities like athletic training.


So why didn’t you just say that? And I’m embarrassed for you that you felt the need to bring your country club into discussions about…checks notes…school cancellation.

It’s tacky and you sound like a striver. Money can’t buy you class. -country club member



Well what are your kids doing while off school? The tennis courts are busy today.


Helping neighbors shovel!



You must be joking. People need to hire professional help if they can’t themselves. Much easier with real equipment and supplies. You don’t just throw your kid in to help the neighborhood because they have a snow day. If neighbors want to be cheap about it, they can expect consequences
