It was clear that there was no preparation (or expectation?) of what happened. I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. It was snowing huge snowflakes at that time and the grass and road were getting covered. Later it turned to drizzle and the completely untreated road turned into an icy slushy mess. I think it's a good call. I imagine in 2hrs it will be fine.

I teach in Gaithersburg. The problem is that a good chunk of our staff lives north, even many in Frederick. Some of our kids are fro. Up there, too, and join us for magnet programs. We also have a large special ed program that buses most of the kids in.

I also have a flexible work from home job, so it doesn’t pain me.

In Gaithersburg (and north) we’ve got a nice layer of snow on grass, trees, partially on walks, and the roads are slick. 2 hrs makes sense - it’ll be light so everyone can see, and the roads will be a little warmer to melt anything icy.
Welcome to winter weather fun!

Probably black ice in Damascus or somewhere.
Meanwhile, it’s a nice mental health mini-break for students and teachers.
