[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They usually don't announce these types of delays until 5am. The county has all night to treat the roads and school parking lots. They'll send some folks out around 4 am to check the roads in the worst spots and then make the call. They've done much better at this the past few years. I remember 5 or 6 years ago they started all the bus runs and then at 6:30a called a delay because they were slipping.[/quote]

I remember one year about 20 years ago when I was in HS, they opened on time and all the HS buses started skidding all over the road and they realized there was black ice everywhere. So they called a 2-hour delay for MS and ES, just as some of the MS bus routes had started. My younger brother's bus was already halfway to school but Transportation radioed and told everyone to pull over. He ended up just sitting on the bus on the side of the road for like an hour. I just remember being bitter that he'd gotten a delay and I hadn't, even though he spent most of it on the shoulder of a side street in Rockville. [/quote]
