[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if no early dismissal ends up being the “right” call, it was the wrong call because it was a gamble that was not worth taking given the information available.[/quote]

I kind of agree, they took a gamble and got lucky.  Forecasts were showing them to be wrong.  [/quote]

Actually forecasts were showing they were right, which is why they made the call.[/quote]

How?  Forecasts were showing 4-8".  My map from The Weather Channel showed it started showing at 9am (which we all know wasn't right).  So the forecasts were incorrect.  The gamble is "will it stick to the roads?" which is really hard to predict when it's a borderline 32 degrees.  They got lucky, truly.  [/quote]

PP again- one more thing about MCPS, if there was any real chance that it would start snowing by 9 am, they would have shut school completely today no later than 5 am. As would all the neighboring school districts except perhaps DC. That didn’t happen. That also should have been a clue that the report you were looking at was off. [/quote]
