I grew up in England where it snowed frequently during the winter. School was cancelled once that I remember. My parents would have been fired if they had not shown up for work. I've lived here in Porltand 13 years and this weather is not unusual. Today school was cancelled again for no reason - that's 3 days wasted this week and we are told our school will not make up the days. On Wednesday night I walked to our public library with my kids to get a movie, only to find it had closed three hours early. It was 37 degrees and raining. Please - STOP THE MADNESS!
