[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering 14 inches of snow my prediction is: Monday: Already no school(MCPS panicking) Tuesday: No school Wednesday: No school Thursday: Delay at least(No school in play) (Depends how MCPS is feeling or how bad they failed) Friday:Delay is in play (School has a low chance of being off)[/quote] This seems like a reasonable timeline. Though if there's a total closure on Thursday, then that's a miserable failure on the part of the county and MCPS. Delays on both Thursday and Friday are understandable, but Monday through Wednesday should be plenty of time to clear everything.[/quote] MCPS has zero control of what MOCO plows. Schools will be closed for a week and they should be. The temps are going to be too low for anything to melt there will be tons of ice. If you people can not take care of your own kids stop having them. The complaints here are absurd. It's a snowstorm people grow up and stop complaining. [/quote] It's a snowstorm. Grow up and clear that shit up in 72 hours. It's not like we're asking for a 24 hour turnaround. 72 hours of cleanup should be more than sufficient. No wonder our government and schools are crap, people like you allow them to get away with low expectations.[/quote] All but two of the building services workers at my school ride public buses to work. Three come from far away (upcounty or PG). How are they supposed to make it in safely on Monday?[/quote] There's a decent chance that buses will operate on Monday. They will almost certainly operate on Tuesday. A delayed opening on Tuesday won't happen in MCPS, but a well-managed school district would be able to pull that off. There's no excuse for a closure on Wednesday. perhaps a delay to do another once-over before kids arrive, but not a closure. It's absurd that some people think a full week would be reasonable.[/quote] It feels absurd to pre-determine a reasonable outcome before the storm has even come?[/quote]
