Got a message from my kids superintendent last night, they can wait in the house the bus will still stop. This morning it was 22 degrees at 4am. Yesterday however it was 4. I get that this afternoon the Temps will drop like a rock but come on..

Sure wind chill in my area it's -32 to -40 with wind chill. Cold sure. But for 36 hours no need to have a panic.

I understand the stress on the unhoused population I really do, and there are a multitude of resources out there for them.

I mean, it makes sense that the news is covering it - people need to know to not leave their animals outside and try not to be caught in the weather. You can get frostbite in less than 10m.

Nice! My school district won't do that, instead they messaged asking us to wait outside for the kids to be dropped off 🤔
