I Can Gather All the News I Need From the Weather Report

The forecast for tonight includes up to seven inches of snow, starting momentarily and continuing until 9 AM tomorrow morning. Many school districts in our area have already thrown in the towel.

Ours has not. Yet. Part of the problem is that we're almost certain to lose one or two days later this week to deadly levels of morning wind chill. -50 degrees Fahrenheit will do that to you. And they'd really like not to lose *three* days this week.

But what they *like* and what may happen when confronted with the situation on the ground (literally) tomorrow morning are two different things.

In other news, I have an appointment at the dentist for a cleaning at 9 AM tomorrow.

I wonder if they will be there.

Sorry about that. Now that the shutdown is finished the Travel Ghods must mess with us in other ways. Depending on how O'Hare catches up to morning flight backups, we might be spending tomorrow in Reykjavik instead of Swindon.

The local district had two days of school last week, and looks to only have two days this week. Last Monday was MLK Day, Wednesday and Thursday were lost to icy back roads. Wednesday the roads were so bad that many mail carriers weren't able to do their routes.

(I no longer have a kid in school, but I volunteer at the K-2 building, so I still keep track of closings.)
