We are in Springfield and it is still snowing pretty good. Our road looks like a mess. Snow covered (maybe 2"?).

Thanks for the update, Trad Wife. Carry on.


Isn't it DCUM 101 to feed your children well and do enrichment?

I don't know any career moms giving their kids chips and donuts for breakfast and leaving them to smartphones/tv whenever they aren't in school or asleep. I hope you're not implying that it's cartoon 1950s to put a little effort into raising your children.


The trad wife pp is miserable. Dcum has no shortage of angry, miserable people. Enjoy the snow day everyone!

Yes and what sucks is FCPS drives the whole rest of NoVa to close. I am not even in FCPS and I follow this forum instead.

Boo FCPS

They should have stuck with the delay and re-evaluated in the very early morning, 2-3 AM. Sigh …

It will be melted by noon. A 2 hour delay would have been sufficient.

A delayed opening would have been fine. Once daylight comes and road traffic starts up it will clear off quick.

It genuinely could stop at 12 am and not accumulate further in which case a close would be pointless. Nobody was able to nail down a solid prediction for an accumulation because all the models disagreed with eachother and it’s a very warm storm with lots of variance.


This is now what it is looking like.

Pretty lame by Fairfax but why work in the evenings I say if one can help it. Just easier to close.

Good, it'll be warm enough for you to send your kids out to shovel.


you sound like a pimp.


Asking kids to do chores and to help the family and community is not pimping them out.
