Thank god I saw this - It's supposed to rain all night and turn into snow outside Philly for 4-7 inches. I contemplated using PTO today but I guess it's a good thing I didn't lmao

On a side note, because of the shift to school from home due to the pandemic, are schools expected to do remote classes when they get closed due to snow days? Just wondering how these things are handled these days now that I'm boring working adult lol
I guess it's time for the yearly snow day, where we go all winter with barely any snow, only to get dumped on hard once and never snow for the rest of the season.
Over the past few years, we've barely had a winter ass winter in the NYC/Long Island area.

A lot of schools do but it seems to vary depending on whether the school in question has the structure in place for it.
I think snow days are a thing of the past if my nieces are any indication. It's just a "remote day" now.

I feel so bad for people flying in or out tomorrow, every flight will be crazily delayed or cancelled
Honestly looks like Philly ain't getting much .... But my drive south from Allentown will suck.
I'm glad that I grew up in the era that I grew up in.
My old college is closing and doing remote. My doctor's office is closed tomorrow too. This storm's going to be big, huh?
My kid's school closes, while my work remains open (remote).
So that's great for life.
Yeah I basically hate snow days because school is closed and I have to work and it's stressful as fuck.
Not even in NY anymore and saw nothing but angry Travis Kelce memes over the last 24 hours about getting the bread and milk.
Be on alert, East Coast! Some snow is falling in Detroit. It is a coming!
We were only supposed to get flurries on Thursday.
EDIT: looks at map - oh, it is already there. Well, take these leftovers.

Got about 4in so far out here on LI. Was really hoping I wouldnt have to break out the snowblower this year for the 2nd year in a row. Oh well :/
I get the learning loss stuff, but remote learning is not the answer. It's been proven to be terrible, so why double down?
Also, NYC public schools rarely shut down schools for snow anyway. I grew up in the system. Snow days were super rare. It was a running joke growing up. Inches of snow but no snow day called unless it was the rare blizzard. Again, it was a running joke. We would lament it.
I saw parents commenting Threads that they told their kids to just take off lol. Even they thought it was stupid.
Our collective employers are sucking the joy out of what used to be mental health days. It's not great.
We went from 1-2 inches predicted here in Philly last night to 4-8 this morning, seems the rain turned to snow a few hours earlier than they thought
Seems like this storm will be more of a dudd for us in worcester county. Was looking like 12-18", 48 hours ago, and then in the last day it seemed to all move south for the most part. I'm not complaining, we just finally had all of the snow finish melting last week and I'm relieved about it.
Hoping it's just 4-6" and clean up will be easy.
Thankfully in MA and my city the kids still have proper snow days and I don't need to do remote learning for them during the day, so that's at least a little easier.
I think snow days for parents always sucked, which explains why my mom would be pissed as we were all celebrating as kids
around here in MA it's all still snow days. Remote learning was mostly of a failure here for students and teachers, and it'd be even less effective if you have 2-3 remote days a year, nobody would be ready or know how to connect and it'll be aa shit show. It took 2-3 weeks to get streamlined bck in 2020, and everybody was focused on streamlining it. Now it's been 1-2 years and the process isn't as streamlined for teachers or students.
I think they'd only do remote learning days if we had over 6+ snow days and were hitting up against the limits of late release in summer. I think like June 22nd is the last day the schools can be open or something around here, with the normal day being June 15.

I'm honestly kinda surprised it's still falling at a steady clip here near Phoenixville. I thought it was just drifting from the wind but nope. I'm not sure it will add much to the total accumulation but I hear the wind sometimes too (this is somewhat normal for me since we're at the top of a hill) so I'm not really bothering to do a ton of shoveling. I'm glad we stocked up last night. I forgot one or two things but we will be fine.
I grew up in the system too, it's why I know how dumb this is. None of the kids are going to show, they're all taking the day off. Basically the teachers have had to make a lesson plan for nothing and teach it to the handful that do show because I guarantee that APs and Principals will be popping into zoom calls to make sure they aren't just chilling.
We're in Devon, seems to have all but stopped now. I haven't measured but it looks like we got about 5-6 inches.
