If you live in the upper midwest, then you certainly know about the five-to-eight inch blowing snowfall we got last night and this morning. I slept with the phone on my nightstand. At 5:20, I was awake, but no call came. At 5:25, I got up and looked outside. Shin-deep snow in the yard and driveway. No call. I turned on the news and watched the school closings scroll by.
Ann Arbor, closed. Ypsilanti, closed. Van Buren, closed. Willow Run, closed. West Bloomfield, closed. Novi, closed. Bloomfield Hills, closed.
Wherever wasn't listed.
The newscasters, meanwhile, were going on about how awful the roads were, how slippery the highways were, how terrible the side roads were.
My standards about this sort of thing are that if all the districts around me close, I don't drive to work. I called in and e-mailed lesson plans. I hate burning sick days like this, but I'm not going to risk my life or my car to get work on one day.
I have the feeling attendance will be low today among students and teachers both.
