Why doesn't work have snow day's like school did

@Virgo79 We ended up in a ditch 3 times while I was on a school bus. One time was a deep drainage ditch and the bus was tilted so bad that the high school boys had to get us little kids and carry us out of the back of the emergency exit. Two other times when I was in junior high and snow on a country road we slid into the ditches. Schools don’t want to get sued so they are using the snow days. They’ve called off school the last 3 school days and got a call that it’s called off tomorrow too.

@cherokeepatti i remember being stuck multiple times per day, had fun and we all lived through it🙂

@Virgo79 The last few years before I retired the manager made threats to employees when we had some harsh ice storms. There were several that got into accidents as a result, some lived in rural areas and had to drive 10 miles or more on some hilly roads.

@cherokeepatti itf definately hilly and curvy around here, like bad,lol

@Virgo79 the funny thing is that the west side of this city is flat, they call it the 10-Mile Flats…the geography changes on the east side. We lived in a house when I was in school that was on a top of a big hill. The gravel road was about a quarter-mile long and could wash out easily in a hard rain and have to be graded and some more gravel added. But that was easier to drive up and down than the hill going up to each intersection at the sections on each side of our driveway. My friend’s mother had a Volkswagen Beetle and that’s how she got up that hill when most other vehicles couldn’t do it. She let my friend drive it to school when the roads had snow on them. The bus used to stop at the end of our driveway and pick us and our neighbor kids up. Then they decided they didn’t want to maneuver those steep hills and started picking us up at the intersection. So we’d have to walk up the hill and walk down it every day to get to the bus stop. We did good if someone’s mother parked there and let us get in their car and stay warm and dry on the worst days.

@cherokeepatti i was lucky, driveway was only 150 ft long.
We could wait in the house and watch for the bus.
We used to stand on the register above the coal furnace and melt grooves in our shoes while waiting😂
How didn't the house burn down
