[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised b/c this would have been a closing 1 month ago.   I know the MSA's are next week, so I am wondering if  that is related, but who knows.

The problem for me is that my middle school kid will likely get in late while I dust off the car and drive slow to school.[/quote]
I think your problem is wasting your time on DCUM.

LOL  Seriously, your kid is going to be late because you have to dust the car off? Good lord. How about you get your face out of the screen typing away like a whiny kid and leave with enough time to get there on time. Is anyone not accountable for themselves anymore??  Kids lead by example.[/quote]

I am back!  I see everyone loved my comment about getting late to school on this post.  As it turned out, we were about 5 minutes behind our usual schedule and we beat many of the busses.   A couple of thoughts for you...

First, the urge to snark is large, but I did say "AND DRIVE SLOWLY".  I saw an accident on the beltway, so that wasn't a bad strategy.  Read much?

Second, my main point which was not articulated well, was that MCPS set up my expectations for a delay in these conditions, so I wasn't rushing around until I checked the internet for school closings a bit late.  My bad.  This was just a comment on my expectations, not a complaint.

Third, I was on DCUM for about 2-3 minutes after checking the MCPS website.  Not too long.  My routine is to check for closings on the internet, though.

This leads me to my third and final point. I think MCPS made the right call.   The key is we had wet snowy roads, not icy roads.  Once I got outside, the car was cleaned in about 45 seconds because it was just snow dust, not ice frozen on my windsheild.   Chipping ice off the car does take more time.  I drove carefully and took a little more time.   Others probably should have done the same.

Anyway, snark away.   I think this site is funny because people get self-righteous and exercised about the smallest things.  I am happy to get you going, though.  Back to work for me.
