[quote=Anonymous]It's very unlikely DC will close schools because DC is unlikely to get much if any snow and the district virtually never *closes* school for just ice or cold.

However, the district often delays if we get ice or rain overnight and then it freezes, because of the danger this poses for students and teachers getting to school in the morning. It's hard to anticipate because what they usually do is confer with DC government on road conditions, whether buses are running normally (remember many DC students use public buses to get to school, since there are no school buses), and when city services believes the roads will be ready for normal use.

I would not worry about preparing for a snow day but I would definitely prepare for a delayed start as this is reasonably likely. When they do delays, 2 hours is the most common. DH and I both work from home tomorrow, so this basically just means we'll check for an announcement before we wake our kids to get ready for school, and if there's a delay they will sleep in a bit and get to watch a little bit of TV before school.[/quote]
