[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three schools in my neighborhood are serviced by a bus route that is not operating today. None of the sidewalks are cleared and it’s a brisk 20 minute walk from the metro station on a good day. So even if we assume that the teachers are able to drive in, I’m not sure how the majority of students will get to school.[/quote]

You really want to close schools because kids are going to have to stomp through 20 minutes of snow? [/quote]

It's not snow. It's ice. Have you been outside???[/quote]

Clearly this was written without actually going outside or considering that not every neighborhood has clear sidewalks and streets. In NE, many streets are only plowed to one lane, sidewalks are a solid sheet of ice, and people are walking in the road because they have no other option. I watched multiple snow plows try to clear the ice and fail. This isn’t about kids stomping through snow — it’s a safety issue and a liability nightmare.[/quote]

Uh, no one is coming to clear your sidewalks. That's on you and your neighbors. Most will probably be bad for some time, until it warms up. [/quote]
