Much improvement since then under Williams and Fenty, but government under Mayor "One City" more and more does seem like a retro throwback to that earlier sorry time.

I know we come across as weather wimps but I would rather be that than a weather victim.

OP, I admire your crow-eating ways. Most of us aren't big enough to admit when we got something wrong.

The weather isn't static. A lot of new information came out today about the trajectory of the storm. No-one wants to close schools unnecessarily. Note, also, that DCPS spoke before the feds, metro, etc.

Just had to blow off some steam there.
What I meant to say was that on Friday, our DCPS school's regular weekly notice had in the first paragraph was a warning that school might be closed both days and all the ways to stay in contact via twitter, text, FB, good ol' phone, etc.
There are a lot of things to complain about with DCPS, but this is not one of them.
Stay safe all!
There is a difference between a note that your school put out, and DCPS making a statement. I work in a DCPS school and we did not say/send home anything- because we had no word from DCPS.
