Speaking of which...

When will our local school systems wake up and create a "winter weather plan" to use for mornings like this one ?

There should be a 1 hr. delay and the buses come to the mouth of hollows only. It wouldn't hurt students to walk to catch the bus. This would allow school buses to stay on better roads and have school remain open.

Yeah that's just silly for the most part. I live about 5 minutes out of the Pikeville City limits in a holler, and I live 2 miles up, and my neighbors ride the bus, and making them walk two miles when its freezing is just crazy. :p Maybe make the parents bring the kids to the mouth of the holler, but if they didn't show up, they wouldn't be counted absent? But they would never do that because no one would go, and they would lose money. Oh well, I guess since Pike is such a big county, they don't really have a choice to cancel it on days like today. I know it seems silly for us almost in the city limits, but we're not the whole county.
