About 3 weeks ago, we had approximately 2 inches of snow overnight. The roads were pretty greasy because the temperature was hovering around zero (Celcius) and more fell in the morning. About 11.00am, it was announced over the radio that local companies had taken their buses off the road. College management immediately closed all centres and sent the students home, followed by the staff some 40 minutes later. Of course, by the time the edict had been fulfilled, the roads were clear.
When I asked what would be the likely outcome of a sent-home student trudging though the snow and being hit by a vehicle, I was greeted with the sort of look reserved for Zaphod Beeblebrox. ---- Bill Owens <wmbow...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hell, here in North Carolina, just the threat of any kind of frozen > precip causes a run on the grocery stores for milk and bread, even > though said precip will be gone in less than 24 hours.
