For some, school's out Wednesday, too...
Anne Arundel, Howard and Carroll county public school districts have already announced they're canceling school again on Wednesday because of the snow. That means kids in those schools have started their Christmas break already, and won't be back to the classroom until Jan. 4.
UPDATE : Baltimore City also has cancelled school for Wednesday. Baltimore County wants students to come in two hours late.
Many parents are scrambling to handle Christmas shopping, work responsibilities, snow removal....and now extra child-care. They're paying babysitters lots of money at a time when most households don't have a lot to spare. And then there's the issue of boredom -- once the kids have built the snow fort and the snowman and been sledding a few times -- then seen all the good holiday movies -- what is there to do?

Well, there's always the fun trip to the ER after a sledding accident.
What I did when my kids weren't young enough to stay by themselves was to exchange play dates with a friend whose children were the same age. She had an afternoon to do her Christmas shopping, then the next week I would get my chance. The kids were happy and so were we.

The city is closed, the county is a two-hour delay.

That should have been "weren't old enough to stay by themselves." Duh.
