What a waste. This storm so far has been a nothing burger. I know MCPS and every other district and OPM went by the forecast... but the forecast was clearly wrong.

It was completely fine.
Clearly not for everyone? Did you see the other replies in this thread about shelter-in-place calls and HS dismissal being disrupted? Or Clemente MS dismissal being shtshow?
PP sounds like they were simply sharing their experience. The most densely populated parts of Montgomery County barely got any rain until about 15 minutes ago

Seriously. MCPS did not make the wrong call for once. I think if they hadn't burned through so many snow days, they probably would've closed, but early dismissal is the best call they could make given the circumstances.

Is there another round of storms or was that it?

I’m the Blair poster and I am fully aware of the typical early dismissal schedule. However the message MCPS sent did not say schools would follow their regular early dismissal schedule - it said that high school would finish at 12 noon.
9th period happened today. That was probably a bad call, considering the weather.

Between 3-6pm. Do people really not know how to look this up? Capital Weather Gang? Any of the local news stations/websites?
To be fair, some meteorologists were predicting as early as 11 AM and I think some of the forecasting has changed, but it’s a lot to keep up with because so many opinions on timing and it’s changed from yesterday to this am.
11am was the mini preview cell.

I do not see a y tornado yet, but at least I have picked up my kids and they are watching screen at home while I am catching work.

Yeah, my daughter goes to Poolesville, and her bus stop is at Clemente. That was a complete shit show.
