I bet Taylor is so happy it’s the weekend

Strongly disagree. This was the right move, and next time people will have more sense to drive with caution, reducing the minor accidents we saw this time. People need to get used to this.

People need to be able to adapt to a little bit of snow. The handwringing about it on social media is way out of proportion to the actual impact.

Icy and snowy road conditions Friday morning resulted in dozens of collisions before 9 a.m. involving cars, public buses and school buses across Montgomery County, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS) spokesperson Pete Piringer.

Piringer told Bethesda Today that MCFRS crews and county police were “very busy” responding to collisions across the county during the early morning hours. But by about 9 a.m., collision reports appeared to slow down.

Piringer said he had seen a “variety of road conditions” while driving around the county Friday morning, ranging from low visibility due to heavy snowfall and slick conditions caused by snow sticking to roadways because of low temperatures.

“Temperatures were cold and any precipitation that fell, stuck,” Piringer said. “The road conditions were bad. It was pretty intense there for a while.”

No serious injuries were reported, Piringer said. He noted that many of those incidents involved school buses stuck at the bottom of a hill or that had slid on a road.

It seems that you had too many snow days when you were in school because you never learned to read.

"According to Piringer, about a half dozen incidents Friday morning involved school buses.

No serious injuries were reported, Piringer said. He noted that many of those incidents involved school buses stuck at the bottom of a hill or that had slid on a road."


The real news is that Exec Erlich should have canceed RTO for all employers!

"Piringer said many of Friday morning’s collisions occurred along the county’s I-270 corridor from Montrose Road to Shady Grove Road. More than a dozen collisions occurred on that span of the corridor, with many involving multiple vehicles. One incident involved about eight or nine vehicles, Piringer said."

What's the number of school bus incidents that would have made you feel Taylor made the wrong call?

This right here. I’ll give you a hint. They’re fine with many many incidents as long as it’s other people’s kids and they don’t need to care for their kids for two extra hours in the am.

You have choices. Stay home, learn to drive, or pay someone to drive you. We shouldn't close or delay schools because of your inability to cope.

I hadn’t thought to do that but will send Taylor a message that I appreciated that school stayed open a full day today. My kids went to school and returned with no problems at all.

Same. My job was open on time and everyone made it in on time.

Good for you. My kids were stranded on their bus for two hours.

Shame on you for only caring about yourself.

I don't believe you.

I'm sorry your kids had to go to school for a full day. That must have been very hard for them.

I also don’t believe kids were stranded on their bus for 2 hours. We live in MoCo not Montana.

I’m glad MCPS got both extremes out of their system this early on. Hopefully, they’ll make reasonable decisions the rest of this winter, without feeling the need to over correct for anything. Let childcare in schools open when school staff can have the grounds ready and the childcare has adequate staffing. Call delays when conditions are likely to be hazardous during the morning commute, but will improve shortly. Close when conditions are hazardous and will not improve or are expected to deteriorate further.

I'm sorry you don't care enough about your kids to either bring them to school or let them back in the house.

Not sure what you mean by this. I work in a school and was teaching other people’s kids.

I'm also dubious, but either way that's the kind of minor hardship that it's fine maybe even good for kids to endure sometimes. My bus got stuck in mud when I was a kid and we were stranded until a new bus came. It's not a big deal.
