Gotta love da Region driving. One minute you're playing like Mario Andretti, weaving in and out of traffic, talking on your damn phone - the next, you're all scrunched up under a semi. "wow, didn't see that coming"

Not saying that's what happened here, but it's Every. Single. Day.

One good thing, the wrecker trucks are a good client of mine. They'll be needing more invoices soon, I dare say.

chacha-ching!

Traffic flow will be back to normal early next week. Then we'll try it again.

Yup. We wore snowpants under our dresses in elementary school and bundled up with mittens, hats, scarves, and a warm coat. I doubt that most kids now even have really cold weather clothes.

Why would they? All they need is a light car coat and fingerless gloves so they can still use their phones.

We never missed school because it was too cold outdoors. We did miss a few times when the boiler crapped out and there was no heat indoors. Frozen pipes were also an occasional problem.

Covid online stuff set the president. Preparedness haven't changed.
The element of style/coolness remains the same.

This closing schools thing is either a relatively recent phenomenon or an Indiana thing. I can probably count on one hand the number of times growing up in IL(South Holland) my schools closed for cold or snow. It had to be Jedi's feets and feets of snow or a daytime high below before the wind chill.

It is far more common in the rural districts than the urban districts. Some of the bus routes are very long, the kids stand outside waiting for the bus at the end of long farm driveways. Typically when the wind chill is about -20F the rural schools close. Blowing and drifting snow is another reason for closing schools, the bus drivers can't get through on many of the rural routes when the roads drift in the rural areas. It can be easy enough to get around in town, but the backroads can become impassible.

Way to cold to be outside today and yet off to the salt mine.

Days like today I appreciate working from home. Office is in the basement. Got up early to salt the stairs. Expect travel time to be normal.

Then someone mentions raising taxes to pay for it and suddenly the topic goes on the back burner.
