Oh I definitely agree it should be done that way, but I don't think Fairfax has a law like that

Seems Prince William got overwhelmed too https://x.com/PWCSNews/status/1877137224891855292

Hello FCPS Staff and Families, As we navigate through another day of cold weather and icy roads, I want to express my deepest appreciation for your patience as we work to reopen our schools to students and staff. I also remain inspired by our outstanding custodial, facilities, transportation, and grounds crews who continue to work around the clock to ensure the safety of our schools and vehicles. I want to provide an update on tomorrow’s school status. The Virginia Department of Transportation has been prioritizing clearing secondary roads, however clearing bus stops and sidewalks has continued to be problematic. Many sidewalks and bus stops (we have 45,000 bus stops!) continue to be covered in snow. With that in mind, we feel that closing all Fairfax County public schools tomorrow, Thursday, January 9, 2025, is the best decision until we can ensure safe travel to and from school. While schools will be closed, school offices and central offices will open to the public at 10 a.m.

Most of N VA besides Loudoun is still closed tomorrow. Reid sent out a message explaining why apparently

@mattie g is pleased with no school tomorrow

Fairfax/Loudoun/Prince William and Fauquier all closed tomorrow

Only if you bring snow now

I'd take the 18z GFS and run

18z RGEM looks a bit better too IMO

Icon was better at the h5 level and it did move further west

@CAPE loves 99

96 is decent

Northern stream looks a bit better, southern stuff just didn't come to play

I think if we set our goal as a pack refresher aka 2-3" we'll be fine.

Good to see you Wes and nice to see you get a great snow

Good to see you all able to cash in on this storm

2-4... maybe 3-6 i81 corridor east on 06z GFS for Saturday fwiw

I mean yeah, its nothing big... but half of the 00z EPS members get 2" or more of snow into DC metro. I'd take a 1-3" refresher on Saturday

Om nom nom nom

You will watch the heavy snow. I have spoken

Boo this man! Boooooo!
