Did they get snow? There isn't a flake on the floor in Deer Park Chat Icon thank goodness because I drive all the way to Queens to teach and NYC schools do not close!Chat Icon

Is there snow? We have nothing in Queens, so I was just curious where it all went.

Still, a 2-hour delay for rain?

Unless they got more snow or ice out there, it doesn't make sense to me. I never remember in my life having a 2-hour delay for rain.

Because once again the news hypes it up- is completely wrong- and the schools jump the gun.

Wow. Now schools are delaying openings for rain?
Unless they got snow/ice in Rocky Point (which is pretty hilly) I think it's crazy.

Re: School closings and delay

There is no snow, but there is water issues - little flooding, etc - that may be the reason, or I could be talking out of my a$$ on this one.

Re: School closings and delay

Many of the roads in the Rocky Point district are VERY hilly, steep & narrow...they were probably just doing it as a precaution.

I think a lot of them closed in anticipation since many times the decision has to be made the night before

Re: School closings and delay

I agree with you all which is why i posted this in the first place, I think it's such a joke that they do ta 2 hour delay, and i leave at 6 am in the morning and still got to work on time.

Re: School closings and delay

My school was open but driving to work I saw a few cars with snow on them...must have been snow somewhere, even in my parking lot another teacher's car had snow..someone was lucky to have a delay.
Any chance for snow on Friday??? Chat Icon

I live in Rocky Point also, and I am a teacher, so I was out pretty early... there was definitely a layer of snow/slush on on my car...

I asked my mom about this b/c she drives a bus on the North Fork to BOCES. She said their delays were most likely b/c not every school district has their own buses- that some of them rent buses from outside companies and some of those companies aren't close to the school districts that they're in.
