Buy winter jackets. You can probably get them at a thrift shop for $10-20.


Have you been to a thrift store recently? Anything warm enough for 9 deg will either be UN-gently used or $40. Influencers have ruined them for low income people.


Not kids jackets.


Yes, kids’ jackets. I buy jackets and coats for my students. Everything at four unique thrift locations in the area was thin, battered to hell, or over $40. I have better luck with the Macy’s sale.


Either you're looking at fancy thrift shops or you have unrealistic expectations for the condition. Goodwill has jackets. Yes, you'll need to layer.

One of my weather apps says 19-23 inches and my other weather app says 12-18 combined total for next weekend. And we will not go above 32 degrees until an entire week later on 2/2. Of course this could change but if it actually snows this much we are definitely not going to school on Tuesday. My street doesn’t even get plowed for days during the biggest storms.


Book a hotel room if you're incapable of driving in the snow.

I would not put it past the geniuses in CO to announce a delay based on this thread, but I urge them to do a simple Google search for information about what temperatures justify a closure due to cold weather with no precipitation.

I see 1” on Saturday and 3-5” on Sunday for our area.

Which app are you looking at?


the standard iPhone Weather app says like 2-4 inches on Saturday night and 18-22 inches on Sunday. Then again it said 6-8 inches for Sunday 2 days ago and 0% chance of snow for Sunday yesterday so take it with a grain of salt.

+1. If there's a foot+ of snow, schools will be closed for several days.

I think the question is “might they close”, not “should they close”? I think one thing we can all agree on is that decisions this year have been inconsistent and sometimes questionable.

So, while I agree with your sentiment I also think it’s possible that they will delay.



Well said.

I mean, you're right, but this would be a whole another level of stupid.

You don't need the most amazing coat. You layer.
