Yes it is snowing quite a bit now, the weather forecast I checked said only 9 am and 3 pm.

Did FCPS goof up again??

So it's noon now, and snowing pretty heavily (I work out in the 'burbs) but I don't see a lot sticking to roads. Safe to assume that FCPS will stay open until the normal time?

FCPS does not post messages like this. They only announce delays and closures, never openings.

I think it it starts to snow heavily, they will mobilize for an early release. It's not ideal, but better than wasting a snow day for what might not happen. I'm a teacher, and do recall some K students being brought back last time when there were no parents to greet them, but not many.
