DC kids walk to school for the most part. That is why DCPS basically never closes. Unlike MD/VA schools that rely on buses.

You are forgetting that many of these kids take public transportation...also, the sidewalks are in terrible condition for the walkers...big snafu on the part of DCPS for even suggesting a 2 hour delay when the city is still in horrible shape.
Another thing is they like to keep the schools open because in many cases, the food that is served are the only meals that some of these kids get...
There's pressure on the DCPS to stay open because of monetary reasons....you gotta figure that any extra (makeup) days that these kids are in school in the first part of the summer costs the school system major $...
I'm not excusing what Rhee and Fenty originally decided tho, because it was stupid. They put their own selfish agendas ahead of safety....

I don't know why officials think things will run smoothly tomorrow. You know how bad traffic will be? Most roads are single lane, and lots of sidewalks are closed so people are walking on those roads too. The only reason it's been o.k. is that very few people have been driving this weekend. Most of the snow is still on the ground and most cars are stuck. How do people expect people to get to work and school tomorrow?
And
at people thinking the 5 inches of snow on Tuesday is nothing. 2" has been enough in the past to cause problems. Just because we got ~28", doesn't mean 5" won't be bad as well. Then again it probably won't make a noticeable difference cause most of the 28" will still be on the ground.

Fenty is definately not seeing me tomorrow. He has to realize that the majority of his employees DO NOT LIVE IN DC

School's closed, can't get to work. I don't know what to do all day. There's a chance things will be closed till at least Friday or next Monday with this new storm coming (I've heard >5", 6-10", and a foot is possible).
