The amount of home owners who do not deal with their sidewalks, well there is no plan for that.

And won't be different Monday morning.


Sidewalks? We don’t even have both lanes plowed!

There are bulldozers on 66 getting snow off shoulder.

Sidewalks need to be clear for kids. Intersections are terrible.

You know what, I think kids need this break. Days of playing in the snow and hanging with neighbors on snow days are the kinds of things most of us remember from our own childhoods with joy. Let the kids have it, the world they are growing up in is horrible right now. A little rest, joy, and time with family will do them good.


I can see how people with little kids think this. I used to think this.

High schoolers have AP classes and immovable AP exams in early May. APS already starts school a week later than other surrounding schools. So your rest now is all of their pain later. They are already working at a fast pace to get through all the material and now they will need to double up when they get back.

Also, our own childhoods filled with joy involved real snow days where employers didn't expect us all to telework the whole time. Most kids at home at this point are experiencing parents trying to juggle a lot of balls. Creating joy while working full-time from home gets a little difficult.


DP. I have a HS junior taking lots of AP classes. His teachers are either assigning work to do on snow days (which they really aren’t supposed to do), or anticipated the storm and gave them upcoming assignments in advance. So he’s been doing a lot of school work but also sleeping in, sledding, and playing board games, etc.


This. My high-acheiving teens are also enjoying the break. I thought it was usually the "we need daycare!" parents freaking out. This teen household is all good over here.

Unless they suddenly plowed all these lots this afternoon, I am not holding my breath.

I would like to be a fly on the wall during their calls. At this point is someone calling their cousin in NJ to come clear the lots? What is the actual plan?
