  1. I’m guessing there was pressure. This was back in the early 1990s. Not sure if ice forecasts were solid back then.
  2. Anyway, chilly out there right now. Hoping to sneak below zero but thinking that will come up short 14.5F
  3. I love 2 hour delays. But for many parents they are pitas
  4. Back in my old career we had a district manager who would close the office at the slightest risk of ice or snow. We always found that peculiar until we found out that at his old office a woman who worked for him died due to icing after staying late at work His guilt haunted him
  5. Those were the right call in those areas. Heck, we only had 5” and the roads were a mess during morning school drive times. Doing it early gives parents more time to arrange care etc if needed. I do think it was exacerbated by the staffing issues.
  6. Lake effect streamer overhead right now.
  7. Lowell and Worcester closing. Prob just larger cities with more routes/moving parts.
  8. Yeah. It typically has to be super cold for them to call off school. Jan 2004 etc. it has happened a couple (3-4?) times since I have taught (2000). But usually wind chills of -20 or so
  9. Our bus company has been very short staffed.
  10. They will treat it as a snow day. No remote learning. It will be made up in. June I hope we don’t close. I want real snow days. Lol
  11. Yup... hopefully it drops like it rose... similar to some other countries is my guess, although the US has some differences
  12. It has been mostly "normal" for most kids this year. If someone is positive they miss a week or so. Most materials, etc are available online so they can do some of the catchup work at home if motivated. That goodness we are staying in person
  13. Pretty much as forecast. Watch the MWRA poop numbers... that is the best way to view how widespread it is in those communities. Not everyone tests... everyone poops
  14. I plan on having my 1 window at least partially open. Some of these clients are stinky... It has more to do with kids waiting at bus stops and riding on busses with windows open
  15. Driveway still iced up here. Snow now has meat in it.
  16. Our dog could barely make it up and down our front steps.
  17. NH used to be the gold standard in DOT winter services. They have fallen
  18. This has to be at least the 6th ZR event this season here. Relentless.
  19. Some CVS and Walgreens have had em out here. We have bought some Regarding school out son needs one before returning in a couple of weeks and then they are testing either weekly or twice a week. Boosters are required by some date. Our son has been boosted for a while This week at work will be interesting. Lots of kids will be out plus staff. Got to keep it (in person/normalish) going as long as possible.
  20. Went to walk the dog. Mix of ZR and sleet pellets. Sun was popping in and out. Winds really picking up. Our side road was very icy despite the town salt truck going by earlier.
  21. The freezing rain is rushing in today 25F and light rain. Things will get icy quickly
