[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what temps being below freezing has to do with anything.  They keep the kids inside from recess if it feels like its 33, or its something like that.

My original bet was closed Monday and Tuesday, delayed start Wednesday.  I stand by that but won't be surprised if they're closed Wednesday too and have a delayed start Thursday.[/quote]

The temps comment has nothing to do with how cold the kids will be but rather the ability to clear the ice from school property and surrounding neighborhoods. If side streets and sidewalks aren’t reasonably clear, then they won’t open schools. [/quote]

Thanks. I understand if APS cannot clear ice from school property, but that would be a school by school decision.  Do you have any idea how APS measures neighborhood sidewalks being clear?  I doubt APS sends staff out to drive around and observe sidewalk conditions.  Arlington county policy is homeowners are to have shoveled sidewalks within 24 hours if less than 6 inches has fallen, and within 36 hours if more than 6 inches has fallen.
