Wed no school or 2hr delay?

It’s going to be dangerous for kids waiting for the bus in the morning, especially high school kids who are out then when it is still dark.

There were tons of kids out today playing in the snow and sledding despite many sidewalks not being perfectly shoveled. Kids aren’t made of glass.

I’m starting to agree. We haven’t even had a single pass from a plow.

We are a relatively small, dead end street, so I understand we are low on the priority list, but I am sure we are not alone.

Perhaps not alone, but certainly in a small minority.

Most people with kids don't have the money to live in places like that. They live in higher density areas that were generally cleared yesterday.

I bet you have the money to come up with a solution to your problem.

You'll do anything for free childcare, huh? Pathetic.

I walk my dog three times a day. The hardened snow is easy to walk on. It's mounds of fresh or soft snow that are very fatiguing - I did that on Sunday and I was exhausted, because the heavy sleet over snow was really hard to walk in. When I clambered over the mounds made by snowplows to cross the street, I had snow above my snowboots. But the snow on sidewalks is a dream - I don't sink in it and it has enough traction.

So no. Snow on sidewalks are not a problem, but the snowplow walls could be a problem for small children.

Again, how do you think the rest of the country deals with this? It isn't the problem you think it is.

The rest of the country does not have below zero wind chills creating hypothermia and frost bite

It is very cold out. We saw a couple of kids out with sleds, and we have deep footprints on the sidewalks where those couple of kids walked. No packed down snow. The shovel squad we were expecting today did not show up, so our sidewalk did not get cleared, and the end of the driveway is fully covered with plow snow, so we have a lot of work to do tomorrow. A school bus drives on our street, but in the current situation it would be a dangerous walk. Thursday delay is the earliest I can imagine.

What do you think kids were doing today?!? The ones who aren't fat and sitting in front of a video game screen were outside.

The outdoors don't need to scary. You should get some help for your anxiety.

You are crazy. A high percentage of streets haven’t had a single pass per the link that has been circulating. Our street had a plow go through one time, and honestly it just packed in the driveways even more. I gather there are parts of Bethesda that are pristine, but there are neighborhoods throughout the county that aren’t even close.

I bet you stayed inside all day. You have no idea what things look like once you get away from your window. There were a ton of kids sledding today. And dog walkers pack down the sidewalks before the kids do.

Streets aren't homes. The percent of homes already covered by the plows is very high. You're forgetting most people don't live on estates.

Why didn't you shovel your sidewalk today? 24 hours is up.

Is that privilege? Or laziness?

This isn’t a Bethesda v not Bethesda thing. My street in Bethesda has yet to get a single pass.

A poster was saying that in Germantown a lot of streets had been plowed as of early this morning. My Bethesda street saw a plow at lunch time

lol. You think today was exceptionally cold?!? Today was fine!

You don't get out of the south much, do you? This is the problem with half the MoCo residents.

The cold is unpleasant, but we're nowhere near dangerous temperatures if you simply wear a jacket, hat, and gloves. No extravagant winter gear needed. Mostly you just need a brain.
