Bingo.
There's a sliver of hope for Tues with temps going to upper 30s woo hoo.

Walls of ice won't melt just because its a little above freezing...

Teachers are going in tomorrow. They coulda taught from the school building.

If we went virtual, then most kids wouldn't join, no learning would happen, and we'd still have to add make-up days under Maryland law.

And whatever melts will just turn into ice overnight.

They dug themselves into a hole with that detailed announcement. They're describing something that won't happen until late February best case.

It's been interesting that these announcements have more details than in past years.

More people should go outside either on foot or by car and see conditions in their neighborhoods. Are streets clear? Bus stops? Can you chip some of it with a shovel or ax? Report to county impassable (for buses) roads?

Because parents have rightfully been angry at the mismanagement. They're in damage control mode.

Honestly that’s what I’m worried about. The sidewalk in front of my house is completely clear of snow and ice, but if the icy snowbank between the sidewalk and the street starts to melt, water will cover the sidewalk. Then temps will drop. All I have is pet safe ice melt. I’m not sure it even works in such low temps. Will I have a sheet of ice on my sidewalk every morning after temps rise enough to melt anything? This cycle could go on for a long time.

Our steps are worse today than yesterday because of water from the roof melting and dripping down and then refreezing.

But we are still leaving our house (very carefully)

It may. It's going to be like today all week as of now.
