Give me a break! The school systems in this area should be ashamed of themselves for cancelling schools, save maybe Monday and a delay today. Now most of them are cancelling tomorrow also, it appears.... an embarrasment to all of us and a joke for people who have lived in areas where it REALLY snows and they deal with it all winter long.
Maybe the new Wake County school board will take this issue on like they have some of the other bureaucratic messes they've tried to force on us, like the forced bussing of students.... God Bless 'em!

Ummm, do you have a kid in daycare? If so, read your contract, I am sure inclement weather is covered in the contract. If not, what business is it of yours whether they were open or not?
And what's with calling the police (and wasting their time) about a road that needed to be plowed. Did you really think that was the only road in the county that needed to be plowed? I mean, how utterly self-absorbed do you have to be to call the police because your road had snow on it. Sheesh!
