I'm fairly certain that they told us it would rain all day and get heavier as the afternoon went on.

Well?

"Oh jeez people cmon. A 2 hour delay was the right call, no need to risk a bus or a teenage driver crashing on a bridge with an icy spot. as for extending the school day 2 hrs.....cmon man, really?"

You really think they should delay school by 3 hrs on what "could" happen???? Give me a break...kids going to school at 11-12 is ridiculous and not even worth going for!!!! If I was a parent I would be outraged that they call the delay hours before it even starts to RAIN, with predicted temps at 32-33 how can you do that? This is becoming an all too common trend with the weather people and school systems...

"Was it intentional to put the school systems into a tizzy?"--Obama promise tracker

Eh, school systems around here stay in a tizzy. It's perpetual regardless of reason. This one was as good as any.

Am REALLY tired of this messy February, though. Grass here has sleet on it from last night and I'm flat looking forward to April!

What they need to do is just let the school day happen and toughen these kids up. They hear stories like this up north and laugh with their kids standing in ankle-deep snow. These overreactions are hilarious. My favorite is when the stores are raided for milk and bread when we get an inch of snow, like we took a time machine back to the 1800's.

This was hilarious. New 14 had somebody driving in a car with a camera showing semi-wet roads and talking in a dramatic tone. 10:30 and the roads are dry as a bone. Good thing we had those delays!

i saw this kid outside this morning waiting for his school bus in the cold... by himself... I wonder where the parents are at and why they didn't know about the 3 hour delay!! Poor kid!! romneycare

I hope you told him about the delay.

What they need to do is evaluate the road conditions at 5 a.m. so they could make an accurate call. You can't do that the night before.

True...but then the parents whine that they didn't have enough warning there was going to be a delay.
