Oh boy. Will SPS decide in time to delay school before the snow starts? Not looking forward to having my kids in the car, driving to school by 7:50 in potential conditions. As we all snow- hills and wet snow aren’t a great combination for cars!

That’s a tough one; I’m sure they’ll be watching the forecast and nailbiting all day, as this seems to be another one of those that could go either way. We’ll be watching the schools as well as the forecast. (And since it’s been a few years – re-extending our invitation for independent schools to let us know about closures too … editor@westseattleblog.com …)
