+1 What are they going to do? There’s clearly no more plowing being done, and they can’t rely on their usual post storm “Wait a few days until it’s 50 and rainy to wash away the ice” plan.

I don’t usually read the full alert so maybe it is like this often, but this one seems to call out VDOT specifically.

"Hello FCPS Staff and Families,

As we navigate through another day of cold weather and icy roads, I want to express my deepest appreciation for your patience as we work to reopen our schools to students and staff. I also remain inspired by our outstanding custodial, facilities, transportation, and grounds crews who continue to work around the clock to ensure the safety of our schools and vehicles.

I want to provide an update on tomorrow’s school status. The Virginia Department of Transportation has been prioritizing clearing secondary roads, however clearing bus stops and sidewalks has continued to be problematic. Many sidewalks and bus stops (we have 45,000 bus stops!) continue to be covered in snow. With that in mind, we feel that closing all Fairfax County public schools tomorrow, Thursday, January 9, 2025, is the best decision until we can ensure safe travel to and from school. "

Well if we're waiting to clear all 45,000 busstops they should have just called Friday too while we're at it since VDOT made little progress today clearing secondary roads.

Closed.
So someone will withdraw their kids and move it to private, I hope they keep their promise 😬

Look for schools to reopen on January 15th. More snow Saturday.

I hear Virtual Virginia has openings!

So we’re gonna have to wait until the weather gets above freezing and just wait for the sun to do its job? I haven’t posted previously but this is stupid.

She’s making it pretty clear that VDOT isn’t clearing bus stops and streets and people aren’t clearing their sidewalks and given that there wasn’t much they could do.
