My kids are grown, but back when... all the schools cancelled in our area but ours. I dutifully got the kids to school inspite of law enforcement telling everyone to stay home!
Got home and heard on the radio... our school had finally decided to cancel, grrrrr! Picked up my daughter at Junior High. On to the High School, no sign of my son. Went home, not there, called school, they search every room... not there. Finally hours later we get a call. My son had attempted to drive a group of girls home in one of their cars. They were plowing through snow drifts when they came to one they couldn't beat. They plowed half way through it and stopped, not going another inch. They were packed into the drift. They couldn't open the car doors. Pre cell phone days! It took them an hour to somehow work their way out of the car, I think someone even came by to try to help pull them out, didn't work but they managed to get the kids out. As I recall it was a week or so before they got the road they were on cleared and the car out of the drift. >From then on I decided whether or not to send the kids to school based on the recommendations of the local law enforcement not the school district!
