Schools are starting to close here tomorrow because of the cold. Weenies.

Can't tell you how many times they close school because of snow and not 1 flake falls.


When I was in high school, that only happened once when windchill was -40F.
Weenies, and school districts afraid of angry parents and/or possible lawsuits.

We're on a 2 hr delay tomorrow, due solely to cold (probably single digits)

I was watching a feud on our local news facebook page.

50% saying kids should go to school
50% saying good decision with closing



IMO, they could have kept schools open and if you think it's too cold for your kid, simply keep them home.

But then if a kid dies or something happens, you will never hear the end of it.

I really don't care...I'm not in school and neither is my non-existent kid.

They ended up going with a 2 hr delay this morning after all.
It was 7 degrees when I woke up, with windchill something below 0. That's pretty cold for here. But last night was worse: 15-20 mph winds (plus higher gusts) combined with temps in the teens. Cold

Not even enough snow to cover the grass here. That will probably change overnight.
