My husband was suggesting they might delay or cancel school tomorrow because it will be cold. Is there a threshold in MD? (I think windchill might be -5 in the AM )
I hope they wouldn't really cancel school for this? Is there precedent, or a policy in place? thanks! |

| It was just as cold a couple of weeks ago and they didn't cancel. No reason to do so now. |

| Two hour delay. Watch it happen. |

| It did not happen in MCPS. |

| Didn't happen last time just for cold - won't happen this time. I have never seen MCPS close the entire county or even delay due to cold weather - only specific buildings that may have heating issues. |

| There may be some ice from snow melt/refreeze. But I'm not expecting a delay. |

| Other school districts did close for the one really cold day a few weeks back - but MCPS did not. I bet they don't this time either - they only have one snow day left and I'm willing to bet it snows sometime in Feb. |

We received an email about possible changes to our training schedule tomorrow if there's a delay or closure.
I doubt MCPS would close, but Starr took a lot of heat when he opened on time during the last deep freeze. |

No. Unless there is freezing and dangerous driving and walking conditions.
Have you seen how HEAVILY salted the roads are this year. Not gonna happen. |

| Delay due to expected cold. Book it. |

| How does a delay help with cold? It will be just as cold at 9am as it is at 7am. |

I don't recall this. I recall Fairfax getting a lot of heat for closing. |
