also, one can walk. If you live in Bethesda, you have access to the bus and metro. they are all running.

Do you think all of Bethesda is in walking distance of the buses and metro’s 😳

Yes, I think so. But I didn't grow up in American suburbs, so maybe it is hard for me to imagine.

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.

I did. You can too!

Yep, so did we.

do y’all want to come over and shovel out my alley in Logan Circle? bc we can’t do half a city block and my neighbors dgaf bc they don’t need to drive anywhere.

Where do you have to drive if you live in Logan?

I have to (yes and choose to) drive my kid to a dc private bc my local DCPS high school has a 70% graduation rate, a truancy issue and the teen pregnancy program on site. Assume that if you’re commenting on school closings on the private school board, your kid likely goes to private school, no?

Then I guess you and your teen need to get out there and shovel.

Precisely. What do you plan to do? Being cozy until next week?

I can’t climb 6 ft walls of snow!

I used to live closer to the school where I worked, and the expectation was you walk in if you could. This made it incredibly dangerous. No one realizes how impassable snow banks are.. you literally are scaling rough ice to land in the street. Driving is actually safer.

This is how it is in our neighborhood right now. We can’t cross the main road due to snowbanks at the crosswalks. They are several feet high. Who is supposed to clear this? The city? I can’t clear it by hand we need a machine.

Not surprising given conditions PLUS the water issue in Montgomery Co right now.

What's the water issue?

WSSC Water is urging customers in Montgomery and Prince George's counties to only use water for essential purposes after several water main breaks and leaks.

The essential-water-use-only request was issued because of 33 water main breaks and leaks brought on by the frigid temperatures. The request affects 1.9 million customers in the counties. There are break locations that have not been identified yet.

Huh? No one said they wanted to stay inside all week. They are asking who can clear the crosswalks so people can cross the roads and kids can walk to school.

It seems folks do not mind school being closed that means they do not mind staying all day inside to wait the snow to melt.

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

The ridiculous of lazy entitled rich people who hire servants to do all their hard work is what I see. It's obvious from your comments that you haven't been out there doing anything. K shaped economy indeed.

I don't even have a car. Why am I a lazy rich person? I guess i am entitled that I live in the city.
