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.


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.


None of the issues you’ve identified would be resolved through a 2-hour delayed opening. Are you advocating for a 3-week closure?


No one is asking for a school closure.

We are good with 2 hr delay, which helps with warming up the morning, proving light to kids to walk and drivers to see kids, that are walking on streets because sidewalks or crosswalks aren't safe and cleared.

Stop trolling the school forums. I doubt you even have kids in school anymore.

It's not that cold. Sub zero temperatures with -20F wind chill? Maybe. Certainly not for the upper single digits.

+2 it’s a bunch of disgruntled working parents who have sh&t fits every time there’s a 2 hour delay because it messes with their work schedule.
