However, it's very icy out there and supposed to be cold in the morning and I am a bit worried about getting to school tomorrow. We are at the far end of the boundary from our school so it's normally a 15-20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive. But if the ice is very bad it could easily take 30+ minutes and I wouldn't want to drive because who wants to de-ice the car for a 5 minute drive on icy roads.

So I might be pro-delay?


I'm pro-delay but not because of de-icing the car. Normal people scrape the windshields the night before, OP. Then you can just enter your car in the morning and drive. The problem is walkers who don't have cars!

I don't know how it looks for DC proper, though. You probably have less ice, no?



There is actually quite some ice especially in the Georgetown neighborhood.

I saw posts like this on the MCPS and FCPS section and wanted to hear DCPS parent's and teacher's opinions.
Although DCPS rarely closes or delays, it is the last week before winter break, there is quite some snow and the temperatures are absolutely freezing and the snow will turn into ice instead of melting.


Please tell me you're not serious.


have you walked outside???
it is freezing cold AND icy
jeez some people really don’t care about safety


Yes, I've been outside walking around for several hours today. It's fine. Don't act like a baby.

Where is the quite some snow you are talking about? We were outside all day today along with the majority of dc. If school is delayed tomorrow it will make no sense at all

It would be wise to delay. Give folks some extra time. There is quite a bit of ice which is very dangerous.
