MCPS delayed Thursday?

[Anonymous]

Do they have proper heating in all MCP schools?

Give the HS kids some daylight... Not crazy.

Please buy your kids winter coats so they're prepared in the future.

Are they still plowing?

Do you say that about early release days? Full days or bust?

Yep same with those early release days

OK, but how do you feel about going to school through the end of June?

Yes, after they send kids out and they return with chopped firewood.

Are they still plowing? I see a really icy road.

You haven't seen any cars drive on it?

I've seen one truck, but, no.

Its a back road, so not commonly used.

Got it. They've been laying sand behind the plows. It probably looks worse than it is.

Ok, thanks

It's still dangerous outside. I can hear the wind whistling through my house. Will they change it?

Where are the pictures? The comments in posts from today don't have any of schools. At least, I don't see any. What post are you looking under there?

Right! Because the pictures aren’t there it just mean all schools are plowed

There are lots of pictures posted under the thread, "How are the schools near you looking?"

Scroll thru, there are lots of pictures, all from this afternoon/evening.

Thanks. Oddly I needed to sign in on a desktop browser to get that post to come up.

One interesting thing about that thread is that there are several pictures showing obviously-plowed lots where the poster is just upset there's still snow showing.

e.g., Greenwoods ES, Beverly Farms ES, College Gardens ES, Brooke Grove ES, Argyle MS, Clarksburg HS, Kennedy HS, Damascus HS are all cases where the poster was ostensibly claiming the school was bad, but then posted a picture of a plowed lot! Wacky.

Ones like Silver Creek MS were quite bad, but subsequent posts said they were cleared.

I don't think people know what plowed snow looks like. If you don't use salt, and we generally don't, there's going to be a layer of snow. That's what you're seeing in most cases. Don't let the color scare you. You can drive and walk on it.

Okay, well, I disagree. Most of those pictures of bus loops don't look safe for a bus to drive on, and I personally looked at Oakland Terrace's about an hour ago and it looks bad too.

Lol - DH and I walked by OTES around 6:15 this evening. The bus loop is clear and dry (and was entirely snow-covered yesterday). The parking lot is fine. The only thing not fine is the car drop-off loop.

All of it should be cleared. Yesterday it was a hot mess.

So, because it was a “hot mess” on Tuesday, schools should remain closed on Thursday? And even though the bus loop is thoroughly plowed, and the school parking lot fairly well plowed, kids should stay home, again, because the front car loop isn’t spic and span?

Bundle up and go to school already.
