also, one can walk. If you live in Bethesda, you have access to the bus and metro. they are all running.

I can’t climb 6 ft walls of snow!

I used to live closer to the school where I worked, and the expectation was you walk in if you could. This made it incredibly dangerous. No one realizes how impassable snow banks are.. you literally are scaling rough ice to land in the street. Driving is actually safer.

I walked past the kids' elementary school on my way home. Part of the sidewalk is a little icy but generally safe. Wisconsin is open. The Wisconsin sidewalk is generally safe, except that you have to walk slowly over the bumps of snow. Buses are running. Many kids are out. It is a beautiful day. At least for Northwest schools, Janney, Mans, Hearst, and Murch, I don't see how it is dangerous to go to school tomorrow.

My elementary-age kids go to one of those schools and have been walking there since yesterday to meet up with friends! Our car got plowed in, which was annoying, but it wasn't that hard to shovel it out. All to say, we probably could have had school today even and been fine ...

You can walk what about the employees who must drive. Congrats on your area being clear. It’s amazing to think that others have not been touched at all.

those who has to drive don't have to come to work. Most of the roads near DC is clear.

The roads are clear but the cars are encased in a berm of solid ice.

The wintry mix stopped falling 40 hours ago. Why haven’t people done their shoveling?

You can't "shovel" a wall of solid ice.

I did. You can too!

Yep, so did we.

do y’all want to come over and shovel out my alley in Logan Circle? bc we can’t do half a city block and my neighbors dgaf bc they don’t need to drive anywhere.

Where do you have to drive if you live in Logan?

I have to (yes and choose to) drive my kid to a dc private bc my local DCPS high school has a 70% graduation rate, a truancy issue and the teen pregnancy program on site. Assume that if you’re commenting on school closings on the private school board, your kid likely goes to private school, no?

Then I guess you and your teen need to get out there and shovel.

Shovel the street??

As someone asked well are we supposed to wait a week? I guess that depends on when dc, Arlington, Fairfax, moco get there acts together and get to the secondary roads.

As the world's No. 1 developed country, it is pretty astonishing. People are stuck inside their houses, and kids have no school for aweek due to 1 day of snow.

We get ice like this once every ten years or so. Plows we currently have are ineffective against that kind or precip.

Stop whinning
If we all agree to pay more taxes so that these cities and counties can have more snow equipment then we won’t be in this spot again. That’s the problem they don’t have the equipment to clean this up. Major roads all good neighborhoods are a freakin mess.
