Another School Delay

[Janet]

We have had so many school delays this year due to weather. Today we are delayed 2 hours because the wind was so bad last night it made the snow drift into the roads. A plow hasn't even been down our road yet.

Even if we have a delay, Ricky is still suppose to drive to Frankfort to take the bus to Lafayette for his college classes. There was just no way that he could make it down the road. He'll be able to attend his high school classes hopefully at 11:00. I just don't understand where the plows are...they are usually out by now. Guess I need to turn the scanner on and see what roads they are plowing.

don't know weather it's a good thing or not to be delayed, i think i would just as soon have the whole day off instead of waiting around to go at a later time.
Keith went out at his usual time 4 am haven't heard from him to find out how the roads are. Just waiting for the weekend, it's suppose to get into the upper 30's it will feel like a heat wave. Enjoy your time Janet, hope Ricky makes it to school without getting stuck.

I can't imagine living like you do. Snow drifts, snow plows. Sounds like a whole 'nother world. Everything's just brown here.

I would much rather have the brown Marilyn!!

They ended up calling school off for the day. Wind is a little too strong and blowing the roads just. We've had one plow go by twice so far today. I love an adventure, so since I'm really low on groceries....I'm going to venture out and see if I can get to town in a bit.

Janet you be careful if you go to the store. Hopefully the plow truck has been down your road by now and the sun is shinning so you should be ok, take Ricky just to be on the safe side, remember your back, you don't need to be slipping & slideing around or pushing a car out of the ditch.

Janet, you must have a lot of patience, would lose my mind being delayed that long.
I know you will be glad when winter is over.

I assume that your school systems are like ours are and I know that if the kids are there a certain number of hours then they can call it a full day. I know that when it's bad our school will hold the kids until 1:00 and then release them because then they can consider that they had a full day of school. I'm sure that the same applies to you, you're just going to school later instead of getting out earlier.

I hope that all of you that are snowed in will stay safe and warm. Janet, why don't you just have one of the guys pick up stuff at the store since they're already out in it. They can call you from the store and you can tell them what to pick up. Save yourself a trip.
