[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reports of kids falling.  😂

They will get up and move on.  They might have a bruise.  They will have learned something about how to navigate snow and ice.  Take off the bubble wrap and back away.[/quote]

Except when they get a concussion or break a leg. But you don’t care. [/quote]

To be clear, has this happened anywhere?

What is wrong with you people.[/quote]

Are you really this clueless? Of course it has happened. Good lord![/quote]

Has it happened following this snow event to children here?

Everything that can befall a human has happened at some point to someone.  We all know that.  Some of us just aren't making our daily decisions based on this.  It's called risk assessment.[/quote]

To think something isn't a problem worth trying to fix until it happens, again, in this community, during this moment in time is....odd to me.

To summarize: Nobody is saying schools should be closed.  Many (including myself) are frustrated the county hasn't cleared its own sidewalks and appears to be doing nothing about that, not even putting out salt to help the ice melt.  Some think we are overreacting and it is fine for children to walk a block or more, on a hill, on ice over a foot think (thanks to plows that pushed the snowcrete onto sidewalks) where the only place to fall is a busy street.  Apparently there are different views on the risks of that.  [/quote]
