[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but can we concede that 10 snow days is stupid when places like Chicago, etc. get more snow and have less time off?   People here need to stop making excuses for the pathetic efforts made to clear snow away here and demand better.  The way so many shrug their shoulders and just take it is pathetic.  [/quote]

I agree. [b]Best for you to move back to Chicago where they know how to clear snow.[[/b]/quote]

People always give this nice flippant answer, but we know people don't have that kind of mobility.   Moreover, it doesn't solve a problem that can and should be solved with a little will.  Sure, it takes a while to dig out after a snowstorm dumps two feet of snow on the area.  But FCPS closing schools any time there's a whiff of slipperiness is beyond the pale.  It's weak. It's soft. And it fosters a real helplessness in kids who grow up here.

That's fine for those who plan to stay in this little bubble, but I'd like my kids to be a bit more resilient.  [/quote]
