Yes, I'm sure that was a really tough situation down there with all the snow
and nothing to clear it.

The school system in our county has been really off this year on weather
related issues.  They opened on time on Monday right before it started snowing
heavy.  Buses were picking up kids and it was looking like a blizzard with
covered roads.  Then just as they get to school, they close them and sent them
back out in the middle of the storm instead of waiting for it to end in the
early afternoon.
