| I'm not even preparing the kids for school tomorrow. Letting them stay up late. |

I think a delay is likely, but not a given if there isn't much accumulation on the roads by 11 pm. I also think the forecasts have overestimated the volume of accumulated storms last several March storms (March 3 this year was going for 8+" and we got 6" tops; who remembers "NoQuester" from last year??) and that today's temps will reduce accumulation.
Sending my kids to bed on time tonight because I want some peace and quiet! |

| I can't believe we're having this discussion again this late in the season. I grew up in New England and a March or April storm is pretty normal, but not so much around here. I just hope my back up daycare is open (thankfully they follow the Feds). |

School closed, and if more than 5" of snow, Fed closed.

| The number of closings this year has really put a stress on working families. |

Safety first! I hope MCPS closes. |

The roads are wet; nothing is sticking. I fail to see how this is a safety issue. And I'm a teacher with two little ones. |

It always takes a while to stick on the roads. I agree that it's premature to close now, if the nws prediction of 4 - 8" come true then closing is the responsible choice. |
