[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2014, we had a polar vortex. Temps were below 0 and the wind chill was something like -20. Meteorologists were warning that uncovered skin could develop frostbite in as little as 5-10 minutes. MCPS opened on time. Things have changed in the last 12 years, but I’d still be surprised if we had a delay due to these temps with no precipitation.[/quote]

It turns out you can wear jackets, hats, and gloves and still be outside in 0F temperatures. How do you think kids in Minnesota survive?[/quote]

To be fair some people around here aren’t used to those kind of temperatures or may not have appropriate clothing. [/quote]

The government can't be in charge of everything. [/quote]

I don’t mind if the government has a few warm coats on hand for kids. Certainly much cheaper and less disruptive than canceling school for everyone on the off chance that a parent is so neglectful that they will send their child to school in the winter with no coat. [/quote]
