It would be weird to have anything other than an on-time start, no? Am I missing something here? I'm not sure why you'd even ask.

I think the PPs are trying to be funny.

I don't think the PPs were trying to be funny. My HS kid just got home and he said a couple of teachers said they thought there might be a delay tomorrow because of cold temps/ice. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they delayed.

The wind chill will be substantially higher tomorrow morning. I don't see that happening.

I wasn’t trying to be funny! With freezing wind today I doubt the sidewalks etc will look any different than today…

The neighborhoods around me are an absolute mess and I’m surprised school was open today. My car did some slipping and sliding. But that ship has sailed. I think MCPS felt pressured because they didn’t build in enough snow days.

Maybe also because the rest of society went back to normal on Tuesday and perhaps somewhere deep down inside they felt shame.

Neighboring school districts closed today….

Frederick and DC Public Schools were open today.

Hardly correct to say the rest of society went back to normal, however.

Usually that's in comparison to things other than schools. People were back to work yesterday, unless they were stuck at home with their kids.

Some of DCPS was operating as early as Tuesday....I had friends with kids in charter schools and they were doing virtual learning.

if normal timing tomorrow, do they announce that, or do we just assume normal if nothing is said by 10 pm tonight?

If you hear nothing, assume normal operations (regular bell schedule). However, it seems like Taylor really wants to make sure everyone knows what’s going on, so they might make an announcement even if they’re opening on time.

The sun melts snow and ice even when it is below freezing. Go for a walk - you will see it.

It's a sunny day pretty close to the melting point, so yes, things will melt a bit. But we're not getting the big melts and refreezes like other storms. There's also the advantage that the main roads now are very well cleared, and aren't getting much meltwater that will refreeze.

Agree. My point was the conditions will continue to improve and everything should be open on time

I wouldn’t be surprised either way (delay or on time)

Do not expect a message, people. It's operations as normal from now on.
