| Has anyone got a good read on the potential weather tonight/tomorrow morning. It looks like it could be either a nothing event or we could be delayed b/c of ice. Thoughts for tomorrow? |

| As sick as I am of discussing this, I'm going to say I think a two-hour delay is a good bet. MCPS has a history of delaying when the morning commute looks "dangerous," citing the safety of its students who walk or drive themselves to school. And there is no penalty for a delayed opening as far as snow day makeups are concerned. |

| Oh, but it won't be announced until 4:45am, I'm sure. |

| I'm guessing delay but we'll see... |

A friend of mine works at NOAA and said a couple of hours ago that it's going to be really tricky. MCPS *should* wait until 5:00 AM to announce the decision to make sure they have the most data available.
Sunday morning, predictions were for lots of snow on Monday. But then predictions started "downgrading" to the point of basically saying "we don't know." Sunday night at 11:00, I went to bed and it was 47 degrees... not all that snowlike. Montgomery College had actually cancelled classes until noon on Monday. What an embarrassment. |

| CWG is downplaying the whole thing for this area. |

| Will there be school on Friday? Is the blizzard still coming to Montgomery County? |

| How can anyone have a "good read" here? The weathermen barely can predict the weather. Why do you think Jane Q. Dumdum on DCUM would know? These posts are ridiculous. |

Yes, probably. Now you can plan accordingly. |

| How do you plan accordingly, other than to be ready to check your messages before waking a kid? |

That sounds like a plan to me. |

| You are strange if that is what you consider a plan, and you need a job. |

| Not a good plan. Just saw that the Mont. County Circuit Ct. won't open until 10:30 tomorrow. Could be an indication. |

| I've just gotten to the point where I assume school will be closed and am thus delighted and surprised if it is only a delay. |

| Moco schools closed. |
