For some bizarre reason, they didn't close schools today. It's insane out there.

Then our Director of Education for the Board was unable to get into work. So she put the word out that it was a site based decision around school closures.

So I spent an hour calling parents of kindergarten children so they could be picked up. I just got home.

My 7:45 flight to Boston was canceled and rescheduled until 8am.

So I'm home, unexpectedly.

Think good thoughts about the weather here and on the east coast for tomorrow morning!

Looks like the list of sites they considered was incomplete.

Hopefully everyone got home safely, dol.

Oh - site based decision simply means they've turned it over to the principals to decide. Our school decided to close at about 11:00. The school down the street from me is still open, but most of their staff are local, whereas ours are from all over.

Our school system announced a half day today ... around mid-day yesterday.

The weather's supposed to be OK tomorrow, Dol, but another storm's coming through on Sunday.

I should be ok getting there in the morning.

Soak lost power about an hour ago - obviously you haven't, Quirt. I'm hoping that it's short-lived.
