[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband think he's driving to Raleigh on Monday with our teenager. So. Yeah. Right there with you. [/quote]

I bet this will be fine? The snow is supposed to end on Sunday, right? The highways should be no problem on Monday. [/quote]

Snow will continue off and on every day next week. More importantly, temps will be extremely low.

Kids are likely home all week. Plan accordingly. [/quote]

No, current forecast is for the majority of snow to fall on Sunday. May start late Saturday and may continue into early Monday morning, but like 90% of expected snowfall is supposed to happen Sunday. Forecast calls for sun on Tuesday and Wednesday. Right now the range of snowfall predictions is between 6 and 14 inches. No additional weather predicted until at least the following Friday, as this is a large but someone fast-moving front that is coming through.

Temperatures are supposed to be cold though, with highs below freezing, which could be an issue. However, consistent low temps can actually make snow removal easier because you don't get melt and then re-freeze overnight, allowing plows to move the snow while it's light and fluffy and letting the salt do its job. Since odds are good we are not looking at more than a foot of snow, and strong chance it's less, then there will be ample opportunity Monday and Tuesday for plows to get through and I'd be a little surprised if kids were not back in school by Wednesday. Sooner if we wind up on the low end of predicted snowfall. I would assume kids will be home Monday and it's likely for Tuesday. My kid is in DCPS which is off for a teacher PD day on Monday anyway, so the discussion right now is around the likelihood of day off camps being cancelled. We are definitely preparing for kids to be home Tuesday and potentially Wednesday if snow is heavier than expected and/or city response is bungled, but I think an extended closure is unlikely. We are getting lucky with the timing of the storm hitting on a Sunday, and with everyone having so much warning. [/quote]
