2 Hour Delay Monday February 9th?

Anonymous
Guys it’ll be fine. We’ve been in this kind of cold for 2 weeks, we’re used to it. It’s really the last super cold morning.

It's just so inconsistent with the rest of the calls that it make the whole decision-making process seem flawed: that's the biggest PR mistake here. Monday should be delayed to reflect same super cold temps, then on-time openings after.

There was never a delay for cold, just delays with the plowing of the antarctic ice shelf.

Our coldest day of the winter was yesterday, Feb 7th, when there was an Extreme Cold alert. And yet people were out and about doing their usual errands and activities. Monday is going to be a "normal" cold. Everything is plowed.

There is absolutely not reason to delay anything.

All the bus stops are cleared then?

If they don’t use all the snow hours, why can’t we use them to get out of school earlier in June?

everything is plowed?

cars still can't get out of iced spots.

lanes are still missing along 50.

not every sidewalk is cleared.

there are still spots to work on.

You really don’t want your kid to go to school do you.

DP. i suspect a lot of this depends on your own neighborhood. My road is not clear. Bus stop is not clear. Sidewalks are not clear. I've driven in other areas that appear much better.

Yeah I get it, but that’s not a reason to delay a whole school district

We’d like to have more time to visit relatives and do fun family activities. What’s wrong with that? Getting out earlier in June would be nice.

In the past, they did use that as reason to delay a whole school district.

I invite Dr Reid to walk down Kirby Rd at 6:30am tomorrow. It was scary watching the kids do this at 8:30am last week. The sidewalks and street embankments are still there. The intersection at West Moreland and Kirby is frightening under normal conditions but the snow mountains 🏔️ are even more treacherous.
