our plowmen visited Far Annandale (near NOVA)around 3:30p ... then drove up to Wegman's in Fairfax .. once outside the subdivision, the roads were perfectly clear.
This is Best of All Worlds for the kids .. no school and they really can get out to play, visit friends, etc. As to working (outside the home) parents of younger kids, not happy news.
FCPS covers so much ground, from very rural to almost-city that they have to decide closings based on worst-case scenario .. would you want to drive (or have your kid as a passenger in) a school bus out Vale? I never questioned their decisions.
i have three kids in three different private schools which go by THREE DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS! so far, 2 of them are home, bc they go by fairfax and montgomery co. but my son's school is in falls church and goes by falls church city which RARELY cancels. he is NOT going to be a happy camper when he gets this news!
