It's above freezing all night.


Yes MCPS got lucky with a major weather assist this time.

That would be an irrational fear. It is going to be well above freezing in the morning.


But why make the employees go to work on time if you don't have to?

Just stop!
~not a teacher, but so tired of the ignorance


It's not ignorance to look around and notice how many days this year MCPS offices have been closed or delayed for "weather" while all non school workplaces have been open on time.


This is an exaggeration. If you look at the MoCo circuit court for example, they’ve closed on 3/4 days the schools closed and on that third day of closure in early January when everyone was losing their minds, they still had a delay. They’re not the only place. Many workplaces are very open all the time but there is a range.


Oh good lord.

The Circuit Court is conservative because of people don't show up for court (perhaps because they have to stay home with their kids?) the consequences are really bad.

Now do the county government. And look at delays too.


I have personally found many local businesses to be closed 3 out of these 4 days. The schools are more conservative, but not wildly so. Yesterday they weren’t at all.


Lol that is funny. I actually commuted to work on most of those days. Tons of people out and about, businesses open while DCUM claimed roads were impassable.


Now what is negative Nellie going to complain about?

Didn't you know, they et al read comments on this forum and insert those lines in the announcements.

No, if they were considering changing it, they would say "Currently we re planning on reopening schools tomorrow, but we will reevaluate at 5 a.m. and update if needed."

What conditions? It's only going to get warmer so there won't be ice, the roads and parking lots are clear.

I was wrong! Surprised that it's not a delay but I suppose the schools are clear.


Frederick MD was 2hr delay today. MCPS probably got complaints; if Fred can do it why can't Mont?


Frederick Co schools were closed today.
