Just saw that on Channel 4. My guess is that they'd opt for a 2 hour delayed opening but then will probably call for a 2 hour early dismissal with the impending snow, so why bother opening at all. I'm waiting around for Calvert Co to do the same before heading into work.
F.A.Q. About Weather Decisions
Every effort will be made to make a decision to delay or close schools by 5:00 a.m. In order to start schools on time, the first buses must be on the road by 6:00 a.m. In order to close schools two hours early, every effort will be made to make a decision by 10:45 a.m.

St. Mary's Schools Are closed Today
From the Calvert Co Public Schools website:
As for 2 hour delayed opening or for 2 hour early dismissal - it's all about the $$. If they are not there a certain amount of hours each day - they do not receive the Federal funding for the school lunch program.
The back roads and secondary roads are so icy for some reason they were never plowed or sanded. I've fallen at least 3 times today but I'm not bothered, my toddler thinks its hysterical.
Anyone know how much we are getting this afternoon?
I've lived here for about 7 years and still can't believe how they handle snow around here. You would think they would work out a better plan for all these roads. And my thought about people on back roads is deal with it. Should the whole county shut down because you can't get your road plowed? I live on a private road and we do just fine. Besides the kids have to walk up the road to the main road to catch the bus.

My understanding is that Charles is open with two hour early dismissal. Calvert schools are open today. They cover the Ranch Club. If buses can navigate the road in CRE, then buses should be bale to navigate any road in SoMD. SMCPS could've been open today. A two hour delay or early dismissal would've been reasonable.
They just announced a 2hr early dismissal for Calvert.
I'm sitting in Charles County right now and they got a dusting from yesterday's snow event where as we had 5 inches in Leonardtown at 4 a.m. yesterday... there are also a lot of county roads in St. Mary's that were left pretty icy. Can't see why anyone would expect St. Mary's to make the same call as Charles County...
Stop making sense!
