[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how you people manage to survive on a day to day basis. It's going to be 20, not -20.[/quote]
It will be 16 in the morning, and it will feel like 1. This is Virginia, not Alaska, so yes, this is cold for us.[/quote]

I’m a transplant from a colder state and for every year of the 15 years I’ve lived here, there has been some cold weather. Polar vortex, snowmaggedon, etc. It doesn’t last all winter but there are always a few days.

Have the proper equipment to clear your driveway *early* so the sun can melt any residue and you don’t get ice, buy some wool socks for your kids (and you) to wear on cold days, and have proper footwear. It’s not an emergency.[/quote]

It’s not the cold or the sidewalk ice, it’s the ice on the streets.  There wasn’t enough snow to plow and secondary roads weren’t treated.  It didn’t get above freezing yesterday, so there are many patches of ice on the secondary roads where the bus stops are.  I was out driving yesterday and saw it for myself.

I also grew up in a colder climate than here, and I think not having a delay today was irresponsible.  [/quote]
