[QUOTE="donna723, post: 10357, member: 1883"] Our schools here close too at the very first signs of snow or ice. And they stay closed until the last tiny bit is melted off of the most remote of the back roads in the boonies! It was extremely frustrating when my kids were in school and too young to stay home by themselves. "One of us" had to stay home from work ... and of course it was always ME! But I understand why they do it too. Our roads here are all hills and curves and not safe for the buses in bad weather. And some buses made a "double route" and it takes a very long time to get all the kids home if they are already in school when the bad weather starts. [img]:smile:[/img] We have a "possibility" of some bad weather Sunday, they say. They started spraying the roads with that "stuff" YESTERDAY! So by Sunday, it won't be much good, especially if it rains first like it's supposed to and washes it all away. I look forward to the occasional "snow day" as a free day off work, guilt free! I have a strict policy that if it's snowing or there's ice on the roads, I ain't goin' nowhere! I'll be home on the couch watching "Oprah"! I figure I have only ONE car and only ONE b*typical teen, and I'm not willing to risk either one of them to drive 30-something miles in to work (and then end up being one of the few that made it in!!!!)
