I just went out and we have about an inch of slush. Clumps are falling from the trees thumping on the roof, cars, shed ect.... hello mother fucking nature im trying to fucking sleep!!!!!!!!!!
I am in Wayne MI. There is just enough of the wet packed stuff to have some fun. It will be slush in a few hours so get out and pull some 8's at your local parking lot before/after work while you still can.
I showered my sidewalk last night around 930. We've received less than an inch since the and all the schools are closed. Michigan has gone completely soft.
It's weird. I got home last night around 11 and there was 3-4" and it was still snowing. Woke up today and there was maybe 3" of the heaviest snow I've ever seen.
I feel bad for the people with single stage blowers today.
whats really funny is you base whether or not they should close schools from what you see in your driveway. You do understand that 1/4in of the right snow is enough to close schools right?
The dirt roads are bad, I get it. But they are not impassable, are you gonna stay home from work today? Did all your neighbors stay home from work today too? No, they got off their ass and drove down the dangerous roads and went to work, they could have just as easily dropped their kids off at school.
Who didn't go to work today? Those who have the ability to work from home, or those who are lazy fucks that milk the system anyway.....we just further bred more system milkers by canceling school at least once a week since christmas because we have a bunch of pussies running the school systems who want to use up all the snow days so they can sit at home on their asses.
My assumption the administrators are pussies is not false, it is not an assumption. It is an opinion, an opinion which is not stated as fact, so therefore it can not be false.
You understand the average commute time for a bus route is an hour to an hour and a half under normal driving conditions. So using your logic and driving slow, you can double and triple the bus time. Knowing that a bus needs more room to stop even under dry condition due to the weight of the vehicle, imagine what the stopping distance would be on VERY icy roads? Combine that with uneven grades and you have a very dangerous situation. You really want your kids riding around in a 4 ton shit missile without the ability to stop or navigate turns? You are a smart guy, but you are not using your head on this one buddy :teehee: The buses will run in snow, just not ice

I rode the bus, everyday, from my parents house all the way into town on a dirt road, about 8 miles exactly. I was on the bus the day it spun out and went into the ditch on a big hill by my parents, we all lived, none of us even got hurt.
I rode the bus when they had to use their chains to get down the roads.
12 years of riding the bus down one of the worst roads in our school district, 1 spin out....
It's not about the buses, they used to use delayed starts, main roads only, etc. You can get your kid to the main road, if you don't trust the bus drive your kid all the way to school (that's what I would have done today).....
It's not about the roads, its about the fact that they close school anytime there is some sort of difficulty in life....it's just like the average kid at school, homework is easy, he does it, homework gets hard, cancel school their's 3" of hard homework on the road.....
We got 7" its heavy like mashed potatoes. My flowering trees are bent in half and the power is out just west of us. My interwebz and cable are also out.
Cosidering the current e-fight, I side with Kickstand.
I went to school back in the days of Yetti's super storms. I walked to the bus stop, I didn't get a ride from my mom. I walked home from it too. I remember the bus getting stuck, we all thought it was cool but we still ended up in class.
Our society is growing sissies. Oh, and I miss Jarts.
X2 I remember wearing my 10' long knitted scarf to ward off frostbite while using my steel Evil Knievel lunchbox as a sled before the bus came. :sonicjay:
Well at least you guys had a school. We use to meet under an oak tree in the middle of a huge field. We liked it when it was below freezing because the river would freeze and we didn't have to swim across it to get to the field where the tree was.
Yup old is good ,if only I could remember .............
