I think the question is “might they close”, not “should they close”? I think one thing we can all agree on is that decisions this year have been inconsistent and sometimes questionable.

So, while I agree with your sentiment I also think it’s possible that they will delay.



These temps are not that uncommon. I do not think they will delay.

Buy winter jackets. You can probably get them at a thrift shop for $10-20.


Have you been to a thrift store recently? Anything warm enough for 9 deg will either be UN-gently used or $40. Influencers have ruined them for low income people.

No delay tomorrow and school will open 1/27. Tiny chance of a delay next Tuesday if there’s a refreeze.

Why? There’s no precipitation.

Which way did MCPS overcorrect last time? Whatever they got flack for not doing is what they will do this time.

It’s going to be even colder in the mornings next week. It looks like.

Next Monday is a teacher/support staff work day so already no school for kids. I doubt there will be a delay for cold - we’ve had similar temperatures and started on time.

I’m predicting no delay tomorrow. There’s no precipitation.
Excited for the weekend. Too early to predict closure/delays for next week
