Virginia is full of wuss-empowering morons.
Schools to be closed in NoVA due to the THREAT of extreme cold temps.
?REALLY?
*headdesk*
Barmymoo:
I don't know what the weather is like in Virginia but it's not wussy to decide not to force people to go out in life-threatening weather. Teachers often commute for an hour or more; in bad weather they have to set off even earlier. If the district waits until the weather is really bad, people will already have set out and will be in danger trying to get home again.

Is it only the low temperatures or did the NoVa area get hit with rain or snow or icy conditions? Lowe temperatures alone shouldn't cancel school unless it's deadly lows like in the plains states...
Carl-E:
It's -7 F outside right now. Roughly -22 C. I'm an hour north of NoVA. Our schools didn't close for tomorrow until earlier this evening!
Unfortunately, my dogs still want to go outside for a walk. While I'm tempting to tell them to just hold it, I don't think that'll work out too well.

My car said it was 2 F when I left for work at 7am. Several counties in the area closed school, but where I live (Montgomery) did not. I do not envy the kids at the bus stop who I passed on my way. Now (11:30am) in NoVa it's a bit warmer, up to 11/feels like -6. At home it's 7/feels like -13.
I don't know how to function in this kind of weather, I can't even imagine -50 like I keep hearing about in the Midwest.
