[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools are likely fine. It is the neighborhood streets, bus stops and sidewalks.[/quote]

With that attitude it won’t be “fine” for weeks. When did it become necessary for every piece of snow or ice to be cleared. This is weak and soft. [/quote]

Exactly.

Another example: Even in places that get punch more snow than here (including where I grew up, so I speak from experience), bus stops and small streets were not cleared immediately after storms. But that wasn’t an excuse to cancel school. You stood on a snowbank to wait for the bus. If your road wasn’t clear, you trekked to a main road to get the bus. If you couldn’t make it to school, you don’t go. But school was open. And almost always no later than the day after the storm. [/quote]

Of course, this is the solution... I do wish we could go back to those sort of policies/expectations. But the reality is, thanks to litigation, we cannot. Perhaps the General Assembly could come up with some sort of law that allows for these policies once again? Maybe one day in the future...[/quote]
