Snow day. Looks like we got about 30 cm overnight. I can already hear the sound of snow ploughs and snow throwers.
Schools are closed and in full remote learning mode today.
@kicou @mpjgregoire I still refuse to believe snow days are real, just a cruel joke Hollywood played on kids, giving them hope ;)
@mpjgregoire @kicou When I was a kid, for extreme cold they'd still make us go to school—they just wouldn't let us outside for recess. Salt in the wound!
@mpjgregoire @keithzg to be honest, cancelling transportation but keeping schools open amounts to turning schools into daycares.
My kids' school used to remain open until windchill reached below -40°C, but only a quarter of the students would attend and teachers didn't teach much on such days.
I guess it is mostly a convenience service offered to working parents who cannot leave their young children at home unsupervised.
