[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone pointed out earlier, the reason MCPS closes more often is because the county is so huge and staff tend to work much farther than they live, so commuting isn’t tenable. That being said, Bowser needs to consider many, many dcps staff don’t live in DC…. Therefore, she should be considering their safety rather just assuming everyone can public transport in.[/quote]

It is possible for people to drive in the snow. I visited another state once in the winter and people were doing it like it was no big deal. They weren't even, like, mountain men. It was just regular people. [/quote]

Thanks, genius. Just because your area is plowed and safe, doesn’t mean everyone’s is. Clearly all you seem concerned with is yourself and your conditions (and attempting snark on the internet vs basic common sense)[/quote]

PP here. Nothing is plowed in my neighborhood. The roads aren't slick either. If the roads aren't dangerous, then kids belong in school. [/quote]

Everything will refreeze overnight. Foresight isn't in your wheelhouse, huh? [/quote]

It's winter. It's snows. Things freeze. It's what happens and it doesn't have to be traumatizing if you don't want it to be. You can just turn off the game shows, put on your big boy pants and walk outside and see for yourself. [/quote]

This was a response to the poster saying the roads aren't slick. They WILL be slick at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning as they will have refrozen. And therefore they will be dangerous. Not sure what game shows and big boy pants have to do with it.

Depends entirely on how much gets plowed today and also factors like how warm/wet it gets today (refrozen slush is way worse than snow pack that never melted). I don't get the PP's "big boy pants" comment but it's not a given that roads will be slick tomorrow at 7am. The city has actually really stayed on top of the plowing and the snow is actually really cooperating with the break this afternoon and then it looks like even this late band will be done by late evening with time to run the plows again while it's still cold and before things can get slushy.

I think a 2 hour delay tomorrow is inevitable but don't think a closure is a forgone conclusion. Commutes might be fine tomorrow. This is not actually that much snow and the city was well prepared.[/quote]

Some DCPS buildings don't have heat. Take that into consideration too. [/quote]
