First thing this morning, Christine and I each receive an email regarding the cancellation of buses across the school board. The warmer temperatures bring freezing rain. We live too close to the school for the cancellations to affect us. I still bundle both children for Rose’s drop-off, for her to begin another full day of junior kindergarten. Neither cancelled, nor snow: what kind of snow day is that?
