Overview
- Montgomery County Public Schools reopened Tuesday on a two-hour delay with warnings that some bus stops remain inaccessible and service may be withheld where roads are too narrow or icy.
- Many northern Virginia districts, including Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, Alexandria and Prince William, operated on two-hour delays Tuesday because ice and snow piles still affect bus stops and sidewalks.
- Across the Southeast, closures have stretched into a second week, with power outages complicating reopenings and some districts turning to remote work or learning packets, according to the Associated Press.
- Prince George’s County officials will propose calendar changes that include holding class on Presidents’ Day and possibly extending the school year to recoup days lost to the storm.
- Operational strains persist in central Maryland, where a bus in Anne Arundel County was towed after getting stuck and parents report blocked sidewalks and bus stops as districts press ahead with in-person classes.
