Oh No! Shutting down schools, , come on, quit the drama of excuses. I know you guys are not panty wastes in NY and the east coast unless you all lost your dads or something. We in the Oregon Cascade range deal with 6 to 17 ft a year for off and on 4-5 months. With fires rageing from droughts, , we love getting stuck!
And we TRY too work in it, , unless it getts in the teens with wind. Tuffin up!
