I told my neighbor that she can quit. She should be happy she got 2 weeks off and did door dash doing the day. She double dipping.

It’s not delayed. It’s 2pm and it’s not even snowing. Announcements only recently moved to the evening before.

Delayed? Wth? Delayed is 6 am tomorrow morning.
It may not snow. Weather here js hard to predict.

How is that double dipping? Isn’t it more of a side gig?

Calling it now: FCPS CLOSED FOR THE WEEK.

Mark my words. Come back to this!

I hope you are wrong! (Though you are likely correct.) There is the possibility of snow next weekend. This could be a disaster.

They’re not going to close for the week. Simmer
down.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing. If there’s snow for kids, could be some core memories. Everyone remembers when the schools closed for a week in the 90s from snow.

Teacher here. If you think we are going back to school Wednesday you are crazy. Watch your kids and be happy for the time you get to spend with them. You will probably be watching them all week

Sorry that we have to deal with the kids you can’t stand to have at home? Good thing we’re stronger than you!

Why do you need FCPS to announce it or know why it hasn’t been announced at 2pm on a Sunday? Are you seriously concerned that school will be happening tomorrow?

The need to control information and question every decision in this area is off the charts crazy.

With both parents working, I’d like to plan for the next day. And not be scrambling in the morning.

So you seriously and honestly believe that school is happening tomorrow and until you get that email announcing a closure, you’re paralyzed and unable to move forward with any planning???

Wow.

Dear god. We really are doomed.

Definitely not paralyzed. But would like to know.

Calling it two nights before is a little ridiculous. The night before is sufficient.

Fair! I'm new to the area so I was hoping we'd follow Culpepper's lead

Fairfax doesn't follow anyone's lead; they follow ours. But in general, Fairfax does not call early, even when it might make sense.

They’ve gotten better about calling it the night before, I will say. I remember the “olden days” when we had to get up early just to see if school was off and then we couldn’t go back to sleep of course. But these days they usually make the call by 9 pm the night before which is helpful.

Ha! The "olden days" was getting up early to painfully watch the list of school closures scroll by one at a time in alphabetical order on a fuzzy TV screen. It sucked if just missed your system and have to wait for it to come around again.

Yes that’s exactly what I was referring to…
