[quote=Anonymous]And now the Snow Day That Shouldn’t Have Been gets written up in the WaPo:
[quote]

When Montgomery County parents woke up Wednesday morning, they looked out the window and were not surprised by what they saw — snow falling and coating the ground. Around an inch all together, which was in the forecast. They were surprised, though, by their school district’s reaction to the weather.

At first, Montgomery County Public Schools announced a two-hour delay. Then, just after 7 a.m., it announced that the district would close for the day because of “unsafe road conditions.”

Parents on Twitter vented their frustration, less at the closure than at how late the notice came.

“It’s pathetic @MCPS waited so late to announce when kids already are getting dropped off. Do we live in @fcpsnews now?!” one person tweeted, referring to Fairfax County Public Schools, which have also been criticized for what parents decided were bad calls on snow days.

Indeed, it was somewhat of a reversal Wednesday morning when Montgomery schools were closed and yet Fairfax, which often closes in inclement weather because of its complicated terrain and an abundance of caution, stayed open.
