Which is how it will feel every morning if you dont get an education and end up a homeless bum giving $10 blowjobs in the back seats of cabs.

Get out of that fucking bed and GO TO SCHOOL!

I wouldn't be surprised with a delay.

Looking ahead, I'm wondering if school will be closed a few days next week due to snow.

Some guy on twitter claimed we're getting 8-17 inches. Don't believe it, and it will probably become rain.

The advisory goes until 10am so a delay might not be feasible.

0 degree F windchill = late start at a minimum. Id bet on a 2 hr delay with slight possibility of cancellation. Mostly tomorrow its the wind that will be the determining factor. If its blowing count on a late start.

For all you 'I walked uphill both ways to school types' - please get a life. Unlike Boston we have the school days to burn. We started with 11 and have only used a few. We have 5 weeks of winter where heavy snow is possible. Keep the kids out of 0 degree windchill and, well, chill...

FCPS and students = WIMPS!

At 7 a.m. Thursday, the temperature at International Falls Airport was -28 degrees with calm winds [actual not wind chill]. There was no question school would be in session.

I'm guessing the busses started too....

They're huge pricks. It's going to feel like -4 degrees tomorrow. This is too much even for working adults. Let us stay home from school before we get fucking hypothermia. Fifty shades of grey isn't going to read itself.

Fairfax County kids don't stand outside waiting for the school bus (in any weather). They wait in their parents' cars. The only reason they ride the bus at all is the parents don't want to deal with the Kiss n' Ride lines at school.

Ever wonder why the school bus takes so long to load? Well, the kids have to kiss mommy or daddy goodbye, get out of up to a dozen or more cars, stroll to the bus, and once on board, argue about who is sitting next to who. Then and only then do the flashing red lights go out.

However, if it's as cold as they're saying, you can count on LOTS of the junk buses not starting. If they delay or close, that will be the reason. It's cheaper than fixing all those old buses.

But those are white people and so far north they might as well be called Canadians.

Our illegal Central American kids can't handle that shit.

Some kids do get driven to the bus stop but certainly not the majority. We walk to the bus stop (yes I walk with my kid at 630 am - sue me). There are 14 kids at our stop and the most Ive seen is 4 kids from 3 cars on the coldest of mornings. Id say the average is 2 cars in the winter or during rain. Its usually parents on their way to work so they just hang with the kids for a few moments.

The bus usually loads the 14 kids and is moving in under a minute. I see it every morning and it is usually about one minute. In our case the bus arrives at 6:38 and leaves at 6:39 So in conclusion you are ignorant about the bus loading.

We have really good kids and drivers in our school. Not sure why you are so jaded and difficult about how they board buses or by the fact some parents drop their kids off on the way to work. Sounds like your life sucks or something like that...

I don't see us getting a two-hour delay and that's probably why they're taking so long to make the announcement. It's feel like 0-4 degrees still by 10am so...

Okay, shithead, whatever you say. Silly me, of course all the thousands of bus stops in the County are just like your very own!

SO, Go to School!!!
Then how come Fairfax County isn't under a wind chill advisory?
They don't issue a wind chill advisory in North Dakota until it hits -25 degrees

I still don't understand you're point. Regardless of advisory the temperature is below freezing.

Because opening a business at 8 or 9 am is exactly the same as kids standing in the cold dark at 630 am. Perfect example.

I usually see several cars waiting at multiple bus stops along my commute to work. I actually posted here asking why parents were doing that, even on nice days.

I was shocked to pass what appeared to be two elementary school aged kids waiting outside at a bus stop this morning. I'm not sure if one was even wearing a coat.

You pussified FCPS students dont even know what cold is.

Try this: Sunday- Snow with areas of blowing snow before noon, then snow likely with areas of blowing snow between noon and 4pm, then areas of blowing snow and a chance of snow after 4pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near -9. Strong and damaging winds, with a north wind 90 to 95 mph, with gusts as high as 110 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
