Can’t agree entirely.
My town cancelled school Friday- debatable, could at least have had a shortened day.
and worse, has cancelled school Monday, despite having done yeoman work clearing local roads.
Why, you ask?
None of the sidewalks are clear and “too many kids walk to school.”

WTF?

that is some weak sauce.

Love your response, Espen!

As a descendant of strong Norwegian ancestry, I grew up in Minnesota and lived in Rochester, NY – and I experienced a lot of blizzards these day to wonder what other people were really thinking. I rarely have snow days in Minnesota and upper state of New York.

The story is much different in Washington, D.C. with offices and schools closing over 3-4 inches of snow. People wear winter coats in 20′s/30′s weather around here while I still wear a t-shirt. Different life, different place—I suppose.
