This is a completely normal winter day in most of the country.

I love how people in the DMV act like they're recovering from a natural disaster.

Just look at these two closed days as the days that should have been closed for Christmas break last week (Thursday and Friday when DCPS was open).

I understand a lot of you don’t care and feel that shouldn’t affect your child but it does influence decision making.



Why not? My gym was packed this morning. It's safe to drive to the gym but not to school?


It probably wasn’t safe to drive to your gym but you were just irresponsible.


Oh brother. You've never lived in a state with actual winters, have you?


Chicago Public Schools almost never close for snow. You need a blizzard for them to cancel class.


That’s nice. You should probably move (back?) there.
