What's funny is that Springfield Schools closed for today. They never would have done that 25-30 years ago (am I really old enough to say that....geez). If anything, they would have gone and let out early. So far, kids could have survived at least a half day.

It's like that here too. When I was a kid, we had maybe 2-3 snow days a year. Now they have 12-13, plus they have early dismissal once a week and teacher in service once a month. We used to start after Labor Day and get out in mid-to-late May. They now go from the middle of August until the middle of June.

If its freezing rain I don't want my kids on a bus trying to get home because some idiot school administrator thought they could get a half day in.

Not capping on any parenting styles but 30 years ago parents in general were much less concerned in general. |

Well, bus drivers aren't what they used to be for one (employees in general, actually). And the kids are on buses a lot longer too. Riding the bus isn't as safe as it used to be.

Speaking of which do school buses have seat belts on them now? They didn't when I was young but they should. I saw the video of that bus flipping over here in KC the other day and wondered how everyone wasn't broken inside.

I'd rather err on the side of caution, especially when they are talking freezing rain.

Office closed at noon. ****ing morons are already all sideways on the streets. Sliding backwards down the hills because they don't know how to apply torque to the wheels without mashing the go pedal to the floor. Saw one dipshit stopped halfway up a hill blocking both lanes in that direction, and he's got his ice scraper out working on his windows. JFC folks......

I've seen a ton of vehicles in the ditch. Ironically, most of them are 4 wheel drive trucks or SUV's. People must think they're invincible. |

I love the winter - at least compared to summer. But I don't like heavy snow that I have to scoop.

We’ve worked four accidents today. Only two of them were weather related. Both on overpasses. You’d think people would learn that bridges ice over fairly quick.
