BTW: They closed school one day last winter because snow was PREDICTED. Of
course, it didn't snow and the kids had a free day.

I was in charge of the school buses for a local rural system here for 14 years.
Would you send buses out with the chance of getting one loaded with kids stuck
or in a wreck? Or would you chance getting them to school and then not being
able to get them home? Our buses are not equipped for snow or ice.
