I am flying my American flag upside down on Monday. Good enough for Fuhrer Alito, good enough for me.


That's ridiculous.


Not the PP but not ridiculous at all. America voted in a convicted felon, rapist and insurrectionist. Enjoy the snow next week!


Me too!

I can’t remember if we closed or delayed or nothing at all for the last polar vortex in 2018.


Three people have already said we did miss school for wind chill factors. The impact/closures will be based on roads and plowing situations.

I don't wish for snow days but I also understand and I'm ok with why counties close for weather? It happens and you all are not the first generation to experience this. If the roads are dangerous your kids arent' going to school. why are mothers tantruming over this every snow storm?

They did but it was either 2013-2014 so you missed it. We had a polar vortex with sub zero temps and wind and the buses couldn’t start in those temps, nor did they want kids out in it .


yes 2018....it was like negative wind chill numbers or something. We had snow that year too and we all survived it

Can only remember one time in last 10 years, but do remember.

How many snow days does FCPS have reserved this year? I can find online had 11 for 22-23, but can’t find for 24-25. Did someone say 7 in the longer snow thread? Where can we find that online and why # was reduced by almost 1/2?


We supposedly have 10, however when the early release Mondays were created, the Superintendent said it could be done because we were above the 990 seat hours that the state requires and there was a throw-away comment about how the built-in snow days buffer that requirement. Now that we have had 4, there has not been clarification on how many hours elementary and secondary have left.


You can stop with this....you did this in snow day too. For snow and weather they can get an exemption. It is what it is.

I remember this. They could not get the busses started for 2 days. And it was NOT just FCPS, it was every district that were experiencing the extreme cold. Temps were in single digits with negative wind chills. Our buses are built(engines) differently than those in Northern US.
