I would have a back up plan for a likely delay, but school eventually opening.

The weather will freeze overnight, the roads are likely to be slippery in the AM, but with increasing temps and no more snow/rain forecast, school will be on. I already warned DC not to expect to be off tomorrow. (By the way, between inauguration and MLK and snow days, DC has been off 5 of the last 8 school days. Ugh...)

Mo Co is huge. My streets are icy and haven't been plowed. Main roads may be clean but you have to understand that a bus runs along the side roads, picking up kids. And HS students are out there before 7 am b/c class begins at 7:25 am.

and many of the bus drivers travel in the middle of the night from west virginia to get to work

It's the ice, and the fact sidewalks, etc., have refrozen. There was a huge influx of people in the local ERs due to falls, etc. It's not always about the roads. Not that that makes it any less stressful, though.
