They suck and are the worst when your kids are little. But the years go quick and you will love them when your kids hit middle and HS and you don’t need daycare anymore and they can get themselves to the bus stop. You will wish every day was a delay when middle school hits.

+1, snow days are tough when your kids are little, but they happen practically every winter. Its just a few more years.

Why do people have kids if they don't enjoy when they are around?

2 day closure for sure. Have any of you been out? I did a 1.5 mile walk in my neighborhood. Sidewalks have 6+ inches on them and nothing is going to melt with a high of 27. It doesn’t matter if you think the layer band will be negligible, this amount of snow isn’t going to be cleared enough for school tomorrow.

I have. It's a crazy amount of snow for this part of the country. (I've lived other snowier states and I've been here 6 years and have seen nothing like this.) On the other hand, I've seen them shut everything down for a light dusting of snow in the afternoon.

If you've been here for 6 years than you have seen something like this. You don't sound trustworthy.

This is such a tired argument. We all love our children. We also want them to be educated and attend school. Do you homeschool, and not work? If the answer is no to either of those, why don’t YOU enjoy having your kids around?

What? It’s like 6 inches. A “crazy amount of snow” for this part of the country is triple that. We get 6 inches most years .

So, in my mind, tomorrow is for sure a snow day. The question is Wednesday. Back to school? Two hour delay? Or closed?

When in the last 6 years was their snow like this? Are you a contrarian bot?

My guess is off tomorrow, 2hr delays the rest of the week so that high schoolers don’t have to get to school in the dark with the ice

What? When in the last 6 years have we had 5-6 inches of snow? I was living in Maryland last winter (between Baltimore and DC) and we had at least one 6 inches snow storm in mid January

You know they don't learn much at school, right? Especially before 3rd grade. You want them there so they are not at home, period.

I don't home school but I cherish extra time with my kids who will be grown up and out the door before I blink.

This is factually untrue

Jan 2019 at least. I have photos of my kids sledding and there was a lot of snow (in VA).
Jan 2022 also had a fairly big snow.

Exactly. 6 inches. Give me a break.

I would love to agree with you but no way. Not with 8+ inches of snow.

Best case scenario is a two hour delay on Wednesday.

But parts of Reston are only getting 6" of snow! So they should definitely go to school tomorrow!

Fairfax one! We already have 7 inches on Chantilly/centreville/south riding border-sorry.

Interesting. Jay’s Wintry Mix says no one in Loudoun (which borders you) got more than 5” so far.

Wait, some guy with a Facebook page says something different from actual meteorologists with with massive resources behind them? Well, I’m sold.

He’s well know and respected. And CWG agrees. Can tell you don’t actually follow weather.

Channel 4 just stated 5.5-6 inches in Loudoun so I’m not sure why y’all have your knickers in a knot?

I do agree kids should be in school, mostly to limit exposure to the toxicity of their home environment.
