Out of the past 10 school days, 5 have been canceled. Two for extremely cold weather (-40, the only temp that school will be shut down on), another two for freezing rain (two straight days of rain...the sand and salt trucks couldn't do anything because they themselves had no control on the pure ice) and another for an incredible amount of snow fallen overnight (a HUGE amount; I can't remember the last time school was canceled for snow alone). The best memory of the past two weeks was trying to drive uptown when it was raining. Any speed above 10 k/h was unsafe, and stopping was nearly impossible. This is the best winter ever.
