[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 331626, member: 1233"] When we lived in Cincy it seemed that every mention of flurries brought out hordes of people panicked about "white death from the sky". It was silly. Here we are expecting a high of 8 degrees with LOTS of wind. Windchill is already colder than -20 and supposed to keep falling. The largest school system in the state, Oklahoma City Public, has closed schools for the week because the cold is so dangerous. Our schools are open, at least as of now. thank you will be at home. husband is working a temp gig at the bookstore and must be there by 8, clocked in and ready to work. The bus stop is over 10 minutes away and the bus varies, day to day, by up to 30 minutes. His lungs will not handle the cold. This year the truant officer is more active than ever thanks to new laws. He can do what he wants. My kid is not going to get frostbite or ill on the way to a bus and my car does not work. Not that I am safe to drive with the current medications anyway. Check your state laws. If you live outside the city limits here you have the right to keep a child home due to weather problems up to 10 extra days a year. This is because so many kids live on ranches or farms and don't have paved roads. thank you is not happy, but he will survive being home. And the media player he ordered instead of a ds lite will be here sometime today! I am NOT looking forward to telling him it cannot go to school, LOL! [/QUOTE]
