Brace yourself, Baltimore—Monday morning is about to get a whole lot colder. Schools across the area are delaying their openings on December 15th, not just because of the frigid temperatures, but due to the dangerous icy conditions they’re expected to create. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just the cold that’s the problem—it’s the leftover snow and slush from recent storms that could turn roads into slippery hazards overnight. Here’s the breakdown: overnight lows are predicted to plunge into the teens and low 20s, but with the wind chill, it’ll feel like single-digit temperatures. That’s not just uncomfortable—it’s potentially dangerous for anyone commuting in the morning. But here’s where it gets controversial: while some argue these delays are necessary for safety, others question whether they’re an overreaction to weather conditions that, while cold, aren’t entirely uncommon for this time of year. What do you think? Are these delays a smart precaution or an unnecessary disruption? Let us know in the comments. For now, if you’re in the Baltimore area, check out the full list of school delays below and plan your Monday morning accordingly. Stay warm, stay safe, and stay tuned for updates as this bitter cold snap sticks around after the snowfall. Full list of Baltimore area delays: https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/school-closings/.
