keeping the old fingers crossed

Another cold snap has arrived. It's below zero, with wind chills ranging between 20 and 30 below. Last time we had a snap like this, our district didn't close the schools. And because of some new fuel additive required by the state starting this past fall, about 20% of the buses had problems. Leaving kids standing out there at bus stops for 30 minutes or more in those wind chills. I imagine if that happens again, the superintendent is going to have a mass of irate parents to contend with. Especially since so many of the area schools have closed. And it really doesn't help that these winds are causing white-out conditions. That started yesterday. Just taking Max to preschool was a nightmare. Even Max noticed..."Mommy, where's the road?"

So anyway, we're keeping our fingers crossed that all buses will be running without problems. And just think, another 6 weeks and the majority of our winter problems for the season should be safely behind us.

Boy Debi, that is COLD! It's cold here today too, but not that cold! We haven't had school closed once this year. Come June I will be thankful :). Are you still getting snow?

STAY WARM!!!

take care,
