Snow Day in Tennessee!
This is the district that I pulled my kids out of last year. I can't EVER imagine school being cancelled for temperature reasons in Ohio when I was a kid.

We were wondering why Costco was insane the last time we went. It turns out people were stocking up for the "blizzard".
We got like three inches of light dry snow. If someone hadn't plowed a berm in front of my driveway, I wouldn't have even needed to shovel.
Of course, school's been cancelled all week.

I can remember the only time they ever closed the school I went to was when there was a blizzard of about 36 inches (near a meter) with drifts up to the top of the school building. They closed the school for one day, cleaned up the sidewalks, driveways and parking lot and let the kids dig snow forts in the drifts. ONE Day and that was it. It was the only snow day we ever had in 12 years. It was glorious, though.

Whereish are you, if you don’t mind sharing? We definitely got some serious snow in my neck of the woods. The problem where I am right now is that the schools closed because it was too “cold” and then opened the next day, which was much colder as they realized they’d just never have school again at this rate.

I'm in Cookeville. We're just starting to get it.

I read about that!
I'm in the middle-ish part of the country. It got pretty cold after it snowed, but the snow was the excuse for closing school and not collecting trash/recycling.
It seems so ridiculous to me, because I grew up in the cold and snowy north. If there was less than a foot of snow, no way anything was closing.

Where we lived it sometimes got to -40 degrees. I was walking to work everyday. My wife thought I was crazy because the clothes I wore were not really fit for those temperatures. I found that if I kept up a brisk walk, even through fairly deep snow, I could keep warm for the length of the walk. My co-workers also thought I was out in left field.

Yeah, my first university job was somewhere similarly cold and I also walked a little over a mile to work everyday.
reply
Yes, it was a nice stroll. I never once got cold doing that. I did get cold if I stopped and stood around, though.
reply
I got plenty cold, but I wasn't about to pay for a parking pass that would still leave me walking half a mile.
They really aren't trying to educate our population. Take care and responsibility for your kids, Stackers!
reply
Wrong!!! They are trying to destroy your kids, their native reasoning powers and to fill their heads with the worst kind of isht. This is much different from “not trying to educate your kids.”
