| I think it it starts to snow heavily, they will mobilize for an early release. It's not ideal, but better than wasting a snow day for what might not happen. I'm a teacher, and do recall some K students being brought back last time when there were no parents to greet them, but not many. |

| I am happy that the kids are in school today. Good call, FCPS!! But I thought I would appreciate a message from FCPS telling people that schools are open and on time. Without the message, I kept checking my phone and the web worrying that I may have missed any important notices. |

FCPS does not post messages like this. They only announce delays and closures, never openings. |

I believe this is called by 10:30. |

| So it's noon now, and snowing pretty heavily (I work out in the 'burbs) but I don't see a lot sticking to roads. Safe to assume that FCPS will stay open until the normal time? |

Yes it is snowing quite a bit now, the weather forecast I checked said only 9 am and 3 pm.
Did FCPS goof up again?? |
