I have a car, but a good number of my coworkers don't and my school is not metro accessible. Not to mention all of the kids who use the bus citywide. I just wish they'd call it so we'd know.

Agreed, but it's the late calls that annoy me more about DC than anything else. I can live with a bad call, but a late one is annoying!!!

Is that why they are happy to cancel PD or are you referring to the plowing May have something to do with the optimum temperatures for salting.

running low on salt and don't want to waste it? I'm sure they already blew the plowing budget

Is the city out of salt? This is a serious question.

dc will close, I will bet $ on it

They still have a couple of those stupid professional development days they could cancel. Our street hasn't seen a plow and has a solid inch of ice on it. During the 10 inch snow storm, we saw a plow 3 times during the morning of the storm. Not sure why they aren't plowing neighborhoods this time around? Anyone know?

"Update: @HendersonKaya’s budget address for tomorrow evening is canceled."

I've switched from praying that DC is open to praying that the Fed is closed (my non-profit job follows the Fed closings). I cannot handle another missed day of work because of school closings.

Has DCPS been open in the past when some busses haven't been running?

maybe they could do a two hours delay? please please don't close
