> I'm in about the same boat. I live in Upstate New York and it's been about -2 outside (about -10 with the windchill). I live out in the country so it makes it worse than the village. My car turns over hard when I go to start it because it is so cold out. And if I am having problems, then the teachers must be having problems too. So I could very easily take the bus, but that still doesn't really help. Of course you can get the kids there, but it doesn't help if there aren't and teachers to teach the kids.

> It just keeps snowing and snowing. There has been several days when I swear that we need to close school, but they haven't. Why? Because our intern superintendent (long story of why we don't have a permanent one) doesn't believe in snow days. I have no clue why he doesn't. Even if the bus garage says that school should be closed, he still will not close school. The only way that he would close school is if every other school around us closed first. Then he thinks about it. Am I the only one who has a school like this?

I went to school in Kentucky many moons ago. It snowed a lot in those days, but schools never closed. That was because all the students lived close by and everybody walked. So yes, I walked to school in the snow, but it wasn't 20 miles and it wasn't uphill both ways.
