Intended this for banter....
I know this stuff often turns into a big debate, but if the argument for not sending kids to school is lack of shoveled sidewalks or lack of plowed turn lanes, what's the end game with that? Aside from south facing surfaces, melting this week will not be significant. So then you're talking about keeping them home again this week??? What if sidewalks are still shit come Friday when the arctic front comes through? Then you keep them home the following as well? There aren't enough willing bodies to clear sidewalks that have yet to be touched....its a waiting game on a melt out at this point.
