Yep. I also received an email from the school district saying our basketball league can't use their gyms this weekend either. They shut us down for Sat on Thursday. WTF?!?!?!

I noticed this morning I only have a quarter roll of toilet paper left and no backup product. Really cutting it close in this iceageddon

Just ask your neighbor for some in case you run out.

Do you have any kleenex or paper towels?

I'll probably just stop at the store on the way home but these are great suggestions

Don't sell out, lib. Take the risk.

Last night the Coffeyville School district posted on FB that as of then school for Friday was not cancelled and they would be driving the roads at 3am-6am and then make a decision; however if students didn't go it would be an excused absence. Then there are a bunch of whiny comments.

Then they cancelled this morning.

(xpost with FB hometown thread.)

They are revising the totals down to pud levels, after effectively killing the secondary market for chiefs tickets.

I hate when they wait till last min to make a decision thank God my child is older but when he was younger you had to try and make child care arrangements at 6 in the morning tried making them the night before but then if there was school then you got people ready for them for no reason

Knock it off Satan aren't there a ton of snow days allotted for this? It's Friday the 13th with a national newsworthy massive ice blizzard coming in. You must have walked to school barefoot in the snow uphill both ways with my grandpa

Quote

really i remember last yr when i took my son home 30 mins early because they were calling for severe thunderstorms my son was given 2- 1 hour detentions saying this was not an excused absent that my child is to be in school if school had not been canceled by usd 445.

As a teacher, I hate that the parents are told we having school, but if you want keep your kids at home. That just means half-filled classrooms causing a whole different set of problems.
