We didn't even need the delay.

I just dropped my kids off at Janney. There is nowhere near six inches here.


+1. I am in Spring Valley and we got <2 inches and it's basically gone of roads & sidewalks already. No idea what folks are talking about with 6 inches. That's a flat out lie.

It is melting away quickly.

2 hour delay was the perfect call.


Agree. A delay also keeps rush-hour from becoming a cluster.

I must say that I’m coming around to DCPS’s way of calling it late. I would be so pissed if I were an MCPS parent and school was closed for this nothingburger.


+2 delay was the right call

Spring Valley, Wesley Heights -- same.


We live on Fessenden by Pete’s pizza. So not far from Janney. If we had 1.5” i’d be amazed. I jus ran the shovel down the sidewalk and cleared a path. Easy peasy. So weird to have such a large difference jus a few blocks away.


I have a lot of sidewalk and one section had literally nothing and another had about 4 inches. Tree cover made a huge difference apparently.

School sidewalks were untouched about 9:30 though. Seems like a delay was a perfectly fine way to deal with the desire to clear sidewalks before students arrived.
