Oh goody, controversy! Our local schools proactively canceled for tomorrow (the decision was made Friday) because the forecast is -30 tonight, wind chill -42, and tomorrow during the day a wind chill of down to -47.

Personally, I thought it was a prudent choice. I'm surprised this morning (should I be?) at how many local friends are sputtering that it's a silly decision, that when THEY were kids, they just bundled up and went to school.

Hmmm.

I've already managed to annoy a couple of my friends by suggesting that they didn't have seat belts or indoor plumbing when they were kids, either.

I'm thinking that if something tragic happened, some of those same people would be shaking their fists and demanding someone sue the socks of the supervisory union for not canceling school. What think you all?
