I agree, but it has more to do with the school district not putting chains on the buses, we live in the foothills of the cascades, its anything but flat roads around these parts..think of the streets of San Francisco, then add 4 degrees more steepnes....

oh i understand... trust me.

it is a bummer that i wasn't a kid now. even here they close schools with 4" nowadays, but when i was a kid we'd get 8+" of snow, and have to go to school, getting there 45 minutes late because the bus driver was an old lady that couldn't drive good.

i miss huge snow storms like that

the wussification of society in general makes me laugh though

Nice house Rip!

I use to HATE snow up until this year when my 14month old son saw snow for the First time. Now i can't wait for the snow to fall. Right now we only have a dusting on the ground.

I remember in Highschool it had to be -25 degrees for them to let us out of school. We had 2 highschools right next to eachother and had to walk between them. One day it was -23 degrees and they kept us at school.... BASTARDS!

but now i just laugh at the Highschool kids waiting for the bus while im inside a nice warm house.

We got our third accumlating Snow last night, which made for another fun commute, Girlfriend ran off the road, on the way to her job this morning. Our first snow was before Halloween! Here comes the Ice Age.

I wish I had your problems

In fact we don't have much snow in the streets here in Msk now, had two snow-falls already, but not too much, and it's quite warm now, only -4C. Had +6 two days ago...

Closing schools because of snow is something I never understood. I am a city kid... Studied in three schools, one of them was in the deep suburb, I lived in a military town 15km from Moscow, with nearest school 10km away, we were taken to school by a 4WD "PAZ" bus from the military unit based there. They used PAZ only because it was small, no more then 20 pupils had to be taken to school.

I only remember when I lived in Leningrad - they closed school once when it was -25C and windy, in a wet Baltic air -25C really hurts. In Moscow they said it needs to get to -35C, but I don't remember such coldth since I moved here in 1982.
