The best think parents could do last week and this weekend was to buy their kids snowboots to handle the snowbanks.

That was kind of you to offer parents snow boots for them and their kids [/quote]

I'm a DCUM poor, and even I equip my family properly for winter. You buy in November. If your kid changes shoe size over the winter, you curse and buy again as soon as you realize it. BTDT.

DCUM poor isn’t the issue. There are really poor people in the county. Including those who have never had to deal with snow and ice before.

I grew up really poor. We got laughed at for wearing plastic bags over our shoes to try to stay dry. Fine, we got to school in the rain rather than sitting at home. However, you can’t climb a 2 foot mound of ice with plastic bags tied over your shoes. [/quote]

I did, too. That's not how you do it. You put the plastic bags *inside* the shoes to keep your feet dry.

I find it hard to believe someone would actually do it the other way. Obviously that isn't going to work. The plastic would just tear.[/quote]

DP. Nah kids who needed this method did it both ways. [/quote]

I've seen plastic bags used many times. I've never seen someone try to put them outside the shoes. That isn't going to work. It will tear, and before it tears, you're going to fall. If you've seen people in Maryland do that, to maybe we do need to send a mass email out telling people what not to do.

I have seen plastic bags inside shoes. Then you just don't wear shoes at your desk, or, ideally, you bring a second set of old shoes.[/quote]

Yes, see right here in the Old line state in the 80s by yours truly.[/quote]

Well, I guess that tracks with Marylanders overall lack of common sense with snow.[/quote]

MD is not equipped like your snow hole country[/quote]

It's not a matter of equipment. It is a matter of common sense. Marylanders don't seem to have it if people are trying to walk around with plastic bags OVER their shoes.[/quote]

You are very ignorant. You can't imagine families' lives outside your privileged life.[/quote]

It is privileged to know that the bags go on the inside of the shoes? I don't get what you mean. It costs the same either way. But one way works, and the other way does not.[/quote]

If someone has to actually answer that, you really are ignorant.[/quote]
