Why Would Schools Close Tuesday and Open Wednesday?

TX OMFS · Jan 16, 2018

Here in San Antonio the precipitation has stopped but more ice has formed throughout the day as temperatures drop and pavement cools off from the 60 degree weather yesterday. So, I expect more ice tomorrow morning than today yet schools will be open. Wut?

Trying to decide if I will open my business.

Quick check of the weather tomorrow for SA - 44 degrees, no precipitation, winds out of the NE 6 to 8 mph......., low tomorrow night 29 degrees.

Appears schools there check the forecast.

I'm on the coast and school is closed today and tomorrow.

Maybe someone wanted to walk to school uphill in the snow?

It's supposed to be 14 tonight in Kerr County last time I checked. We have no moisture at this time.

Pretty dry where I am.

My wife said it was 29 and sleeting in Brazoria county. I'm in Baton Rouge now and it's snowing!

Where-ever, it's gonna' still be colder than the proverbial well diggers butt!

No school tomorrow here in Seguin and ice still all over everything. Dry now, but ice remains.

Doesn't get above freezing until noon, no sun, ice won't melt quickly once it does get above freezing. Roads here are wet and icy now. Won't change until late tomorrow.

I guess I check the weather more closely than you and the schools.

Exactly my point. No precipitation is falling but the reason for closing today was icy roads. That won't change by tomorrow morning.

We went to school in this:

No kidding. I remember building snow forts and having snowball wars in the neighborhood. Don't think we ever missed a day of school to snow and ice.

TX OMFS · Jan 16, 2018

Fine. You walked in the snow to school. Still doesn't explain why you would close for fear of ice then open when you know there is ice.

benenglish · Jan 17, 2018

Over here in Houston, the ice on the roads won't melt until mid-day tomorrow (as has already been noted) so most (maybe all) the school districts are staying closed on Wednesday.

And as for going to school in snow, that's understandable. If I lived where snow and ice were normal, I'd expect the road crews to be equipped and supplied to keep roads open. Here in Houston, where this happens once a decade, if that, we don't have fleets of salt and sand spreaders to follow the snowplows so, yeah, when we get ice we try not to drive on it.

If the precipitation today and the temperatures today and tomorrow are roughly the same in SA as here in Houston, SA is screwing up by opening their schools.

I wouldn't and never said I would. The cold must make you feels bad.

Reading is hard, isn't it? Show me on the doll where the Internet hurt you.

NISD made that call at 4:45am this morning. I left for work 45 minutes after that and all the major roads were clear. It may be cold, but there is no reason to cancel school for a second day. They made the right decision.

Hey Austin, you guys get any snow? I had heard there was some snow just down the road from me.

This is from last night when I was trying to get my new to me scope zero’d..

Windchill was 15.7. Was a tad windy. Ok. It was freaking cold, but I was committed to task.
