[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were not school-age yet during the 2010 Snowmageddon. Would someone mind explaining what happened during that time period?  [/quote]

I was a teacher and parent. The mayor and chancellor said that we had to report to school while it was "thunder snowing" outside. I would usually make an effort to get to work in inclement weather because I lived in the city and had an easier commute, but my husband told me not to even think of it. It snowed heavily for like a full day or two. There were literal walls of snow on sidewalks and intersections once they got to clearing streets. [/quote]

How long were schools closed? I worked for a company that would send an all-staff email on snow days to "use your best judgment" about coming to work, which everyone knew meant get your a$$ into the office. Obviously years before Covid and WFH policies.

That was the only time that there was zero guilting about not coming into work for, if I remember right, the entire week. [/quote]
