the horror for your snowflake battling snowflakes

Ha. It's a hassle though, having to go back to the bus stop and pick your kid up, especially if they've already been on the bus for a while. DH was already at work, and if I had been on time, she would've been left in the cold. Can't walk home when you live 6 miles from the bus stop in 30 degree weather

I was already at work when the buses turned around. Kid's bus stop is at a high school and she has to cross several busy streets to get home(which is why I usually pick her up). I work in DC so obviously I wasn't going to go back home and pick her up. She had to stand in the cold for 15 minutes, trying to call me, before she ended up having to walk home in the long run.
The "snowflake battling snowflakes" guy is a total asshole

it is closed!!!!!!

Ha. This is so hilarious. NP here from Washington(the state). You guys got 6 inches of snow? Boo hoo. grow a pair and get ready to go to school! 6 inches is nothing

Disagree. Someone sneezes in MoCo and the entire system shuts down. ?

No, someone sneezes and they wait until the last minute, then they announce a 2 hour delay but reserve the right to change their mind. Then they shut the system down.

No, MoCo is very finicky about snow. They value learning over safety, obvs

Yes I think I remember that! Was that the winter that we got 4 feet of snow?

It was earlier this year, I think? A random day off when they first said it was a delay.

Friend in MCPS says definitely closed tomorrow. She received notice.

PGCPS announced around noon that they were closed tomorrow.
HCPSS announced at 5:15pm that they were closed tomorrow.

Closed. Delay Tuesday

November, I think. If you live closer to the magnet schools then they might not have gotten to your house yet. We live in Gaithersburg but belong to the TPMS cluster, so the bus gets here really early and the ride is an hour and 45 minutes
