| Mine says 6 inches starting at around 5pm going int Monday. |
This. Weather Service thinks 3-4" accumulation. Apple Weather about the same. It also could be nothing or a lot more. We will know Monday morning. My bet is that Monday for FCPS is either 2-hr delayed opening or closed entirely. |
why must i be a teacher? i have two kids, one in middle and another in hs... when they are at home on snow days, they get rest, we bake cookies, we get to go out and walk the dogs in the normal daylight. i love my children. maybe you had rotten parents or are a ghastly parent who abhors the predicament you got yourself into by have unwanted kids. teachers deserve time with their families too. |
DP. It’s best not to engage with the teacher bashers. |
That sounds nice. I’m a full time working single mom. When school is closed my MS kid sits on the couch and watches YouTube all day because I can’t take time off to bake cookies and go for snowy walks. |
NP and it’s really tough when your kids are young and need daycare. I remember those days well. I am not a single parent but we had to work during snowdays and it was so stressful, finding last minute daycare. If they are in middle school, surely they can stay home alone. I will have to go to work tomorrow but my youngest is in HS. I am now hoping for a snow day after years of dreading them and you will get there too. She is always exhausted from the AP classes and will take any time she can get to sleep in a little! And now she can bake on her own. Snow days are stressful for working parents of little kids. The older kids love any extra time to sleep. |

Oh so you don't have a job? Because for most of us, we are expected to work when it snows. |
| Hot cocoa here we come!! |
STFU |
The best and only hot cocoa on a snow day is Abuelita. It’s a Mexican hot cocoa where you melt the chocolate tablets in milk on the stove. Giant used to have it, but I haven’t seen it there. Found it at Walmart. |
Whoosh, PPs point went way over your head. |
No it didn’t. Her middle school kids just sit there and she would need to be home to bake or take them out to get them off electronics so she doesn’t like snow days. I get that. When they get to HS, they might still do that but you don’t care as much because academics are much more intense and you don’t need school to reduce screen time. They are more independent and can do more things. I used my daughter and making independently as one example. In middle school she also would have been on the couch on YouTube or whatever all day. |
I’m not the pp but I do have HS kids who enjoy the break. My kids have a full AP courseload plus sports. They will happily sleep in and take a rest day. I can still sympathize for parents with younger kids scrambling for childcare. |
I’m sorry jealous people are lashing put at you. You sound like a wonderful parent and your children will grow up with beautiful memories that they can share with their own families in the future. |
