Snow Day? Of course not!

OK, has anyone looked outside at the near-blizzard conditions this morning? For the life of me I don't understand why the safety of kids (some of whom, by the way, are supposed to walk because they are "too close" to the school at a mile and a half away to ride either a school bus or the city bus arranged for some children) comes second to not having to make up a snow day in June (when they already get out weeks before most of the country and rediculously early).

Growl.

Now I wonder how many parents whose kids went this morning in these conditions will have to go back and get their children in a few hours when they declare early dismissal because it just keeps getting nastier out.

On the good and bad side, my kidlet is home today. She was running a fever last night (poor bubs, just had this cold the hubster and I are suffering from last weekend). At least she gets a legitimate reason to stay home today. Wonder how many parents call their kids in "sick" today.
