Yes, it is literally melting off the sidewalks and parking lots where we are. But why no plowing? If true, this is ridiculous.[/quote]

I went by our school and the sidewalks are shoveled but the lots are not plowed. Very odd. [/quote]

Why is MCPS not having their school parking lots plowed?  There should be plenty of plows available-- it's not like last time when they were busy doing multiple runs of the streets.  Are they intentionally forcing themselves into a situation where they then will say they have to be closed tomorrow, to try to further their case with the legislature to get the 180-day requirement waived?[/quote]

I walked past Bethesda Elementary and it was all clear this afternoon, but I don't know about other schools. I really do think that plowing school properties isn't sufficiently prioritized in MCPS, and usually I'm very tolerant and lenient about the imperfections of our public school system. I do not quite understand WHY, for winter events that are mild and easy to clear, we cannot get county plows into school lots much faster. I know a small location in Damascus got 7 inches of snow, but the rest of MoCo got a lot less, and since I shoveled my own property, I also happen to know that this snow is extremely easy to shovel and that sunny surfaces with just an inch melted by themselves! County plows didn't have much to do to clear roadways during the night. What are they doing today?
