You can rest assured, that THEIR butts aren't out there driving to decide whether to close or not. Some times I know that the delay is just to see if conditions are going to improve and if it doesn't, then they close. Most of the time, the reasoning is that it's light outside with a 2 hour delay and people can SEE the kids as they skid into them!! lol j/k Seriously, it is easier to see the kids AND it's easier to see the ice.

Our superintendent is just an idiot. He's not very well liked by anyone and we're just waiting for his youngest daughter to graduate because the skuttlebutt is that when she graduates they're out of here and most will be more than happy to wish them good riddance!! lol

But I agree the coin toss sometimes seems like the only logical explanation. I know that we have HAD school with no delay with 6 inches of snow on the ground and then turned around and were cancelled for 2 inches of snow. Go figure!!
