Another snow day

Have snow on the Falls Church border, but only sticking to grass/decks/roofs.

I can live with this APS. They got their ass handed to them for that final Monday closure of last snow event. The whole area did. Which is why it’s not a closure already.

In a pinch, Middle School kids can be by themselves but for elementary school kids, these days off are stressful and extremely inconvenient. A rare day here or there is understandable, but a whole week is nuts.
In addition, many parents come from regions in which snow and ice are commonplace and have a hard time understanding why this is so novel.

Really? You are from a place where people can easily drive on ice?
If you don't like it, move.

Fairfax closed. We’re done.

Yeah it’s not like any sidewalks will be shoveled before the 2 hour delay kicks in.

Our roads are actually getting kind of bad too

I was just out. This is a very wet, heavy snow and roads are already slick. APS will close.

Do you all think they will wait until 5am for any change??

Yeah they did at the next school board meeting. For poor communication. Because many people were shocked they were closed Monday after they had plenty of time to plow their schools out and hadn’t done it and after they did nothing all weekend and still waited until late Sunday afternoon to notify of closure.
