Unfortunately, the thing that I feared the most to snow days happened: MCPS is now going to go virtual for most snow days. However, there is a catch, thankfully. They will consider going virtual for inclement weather. This means that there will be some inclement weather days that will have a traditional snow day rather than a virtual learning. On a virtual learning inclement weather day, the schedule will operate on a 2 hour delay -- except it's on Zoom. Delays and early-releases will still operate as normal.
I will still be posting about weather that impacts the DC area, and still make school predictions about what MCPS will do, no matter what happens to snow days.
I have updated the snowflake rating system and added a new rating system:
The CHROMEBOOK rating system
The chromebook rating system is used to predict whether or not there will be a traditional snow day or a virtual learning day if MCPS needs to close in-person school for inclement weather. It is still undetermined what MCPS goes virtual for -- and what MCPS goes traditional snow day for. I assume that if there is a lot of snow -- especially wet, they will call a traditional snow day. It is still undetermined and no one knows what they will do what for since we havent gotten a snow day with this new rule in effect.
Here is the new Chromebook rating system:
Most Likely Virtual Learning(if closure in-person):
1 Chromebook: Most Likely Virtual Learning
2 Chromebooks: 35% Chance of Traditional Snow Day
Most Likely Traditional Snow Day(if closure in-person):
3 Chromebooks: 55% Chance of Traditional Snow Day
4 Chromebooks: 75% Chance of Traditional Snow Day
5 Chromebooks: Most Likely Traditional Snow Day
And for weather news, there is a storm signal around February 14th(Valentine's Day) that I will be watching. It is still too far out to discuss anything about the storm -- at this point in time we just want to see if the pattern supports it. That is all for this post.
