Things were peachy here in the hinterlands this morning...a wee dusting of snow and a little nip in the air but nothing a fleece jacket and a windproof shell couldn't handle. Overall more or less another non-event.

I guess I'm the only person in the city that had a perfectly normal morning. No ice on my car nor driveway. Perfectly normal commute (a little smoother thanks to Chicken Little), no ice on roads (plenty of salt though, literally piles). Was it cold? Sure. I have a coat. Got to work safe and sound.
But while you folks are at it, I'm selling rocks that keep tigers away. Only $25 each. Guaranteed to work.

Nip in the air? On my way to work it was 1F and a wind chill well below freezing. That's not a nip in the air, this is Frostbite.

Straw Man qualifier. Not having kids is not an indicator of the ability to understand the need for children to be safe and warm. For shame, Ed, I expect better of you.(Seamus may only be 1, but I have no interest in seeing him frozen)
I still don't buy it. It was this cold when I was a kid out in the country and we still went to school. We just prepared for the like, and I can't believe I'm saying this, Steve P said above. We were dirt poor, but we dressed in layers and waited for the bus in the house until near time for it to show, then we hustled down the lane to get on it.
I guess we can no longer expect people to have common sense and be well prepared. Better go ahead and call off school until March, just in case.
