How many snow days next week?

Re map above, no one in our area is getting more than a foot and a half as of Thursday night predictions.

Just so we're clear. No 24-40 inches anywhere.

And this map may be a tad bit optimistic.

Keep following predictions every day, they're bound to change.

Same. I don’t see any serious threats of snow in the near future.

One of the models has 28"+ for the region.

Yeah but random DCUM person says they don’t see it.

Capital Weather Gang doesn’t see it either.

Nor does any reputable weather site. The “region” probably also includes the 81 corridor which is mountains. No way we’re getting 28+inches. The media can’t contain themselves with 1 inch. We’d be hearing doom and gloom predictions if this were true.

Honestly, we’ll get up to an inch, followed by rain, and then a warm-up.

The model with highest snow totals OP is referring to was an early prediction from the beginning of the week.

It hasn't been valid for a few days now.

I didn’t even know it was supposed to snow.

My kid is supposed to take the IAAT math test in person on Monday. Guess that test will be postponed.

It’s not a dumb question. First of all, nutrition and custodial staff and admin have to report to the building if it’s a school day. Bus drivers have to be out delivering meals if it’s a school day. If those would be compromised due to travel conditions, calling a snow day means they do not have to report.

For the kids, snow days are fun. Distance learning is hard and tedious. The days are built into the calendar whether we use them or not, so using them allows kids to take a break and play and enjoy snow. As a teacher, I don’t do “nothing,” those days are super productive for me because I can do all the other stuff there is usually little time for: planning, grading, pulling data for students with interventions, making parent contact.

We already used them, remember how we started two days late? And remember how we haven't had a full week of school since like Thanksgiving? This is ridiculous.

Are they still built into the calendar even though we took two weeks off at the start of the year? And I’m not even going to talk about Mondays because I know they count as school days for some totally cockamamie reason.

Yes they are. The 2 weeks students weren’t in, staff were, and Mondays are counted as school days because students have morning meetings, intervention/small group, meeting with teachers for office hours and are expected to complete any work from the week before and submit it.

LOL

That's two weeks that you were NOT educating our children.

Parents like to b*tch but them counting Mondays is a good thing because your kids get credit and seat hours without enduring YET ANOTHER full day online and they get a chance to catch up on work and teachers get at least a couple hours between other meetings and groups to plan something which would be impossible if it was all day online 5 days a week.

F8ck off. My child is actually learning stuff on school days. Mondays are a waste of time.

Was I supposed to somehow be surreptitiously meeting with your kids in a google meet before the school year officially started or something? The district sets the calendar and tells us what the plan is. Some of you are so bitter you just lash out at any damn teacher and it makes no sense. NONE.

LCPS sending food for 10 days = Monday Tuesday Wednesday no school. At a minimum.
