I live in Alabama and last week it snowed, for people in some parts of the country it would have been a light dusting. But here in the south it was a good amount of snow. Every school system around me let out around 11 A.M., except for my daughters and they didn't let out until 2 P.M. right when the snow was getting bad. The next day they started school late because there was still some icy conditions. Then today they were calling for freezing rain in another part of the state and our school system opened at 9 A.M. a hour late and there is no rain at all here much less freezing rain. My question is do you think that when they go ahead and shut the schools or open them up late like they did this morning and it doesn't do anything it makes them reluctant to close next time when the schools might really need to be closed.

I don't find that to be the case here. Any time it gets icy here the schools are closed or will close. We are supposed to get freezing rain tonight. We rarely get freezing temperatures, but when we do with precipitation we get ice storms. I hope we don't get one. It's been a few years since we have had any ice and snow.

Its usually the same way here that's why I was surprised that my daughters school was the last to close last week. And then they opened late this morning even though they weren't even calling for freezing rain in this part of the state.
