Snow Delay

We have a 1 hour grace period to get to work. I will almost definitely be late, as I need to take a bus into downtown, then a bus to Tukwila. My car, she is going nowhere.

In other news, the Highline School District has now proven how hardcore it is. They are the only school district in the county (and practically in Western WA) on a 1 hour delay rather than 2 hours or being closed. I remember being a kid and having to trudge through snow while the kids in Seattle got to have the day off. Nice to know that some things never change.

Time to go get ready to trudge the 1/2 mile to the bus stop. Joy.

The secondary schools got stuck hardcore, because they made the 1 hr delay announcement at like 5:30 this morning. They wussed out at 8:30 though and closed the elementary schools. By then though everyone who was in school was stuck there!

After yesterdays No School and No Snow I'm sure they weren't wanting to blunder again. I live about 8 minutes away from the school by walking and by eight thirty I'd decided to keep them home regardless of the warning. me =/= hardcore

Yeah, I can see why they made the decision, because when I got to Tukwila there was NOTHING compared to what I had.

Good thing we never got stuck at school huh? Tyee would have been a total zoo.

Stuck at Tyee? Yeah. That would have been interesting in a lame and sucky way.

Isn't that why Seattle School district closed? Some snow storm in the 90's where over a thousand kids *had* to spend the night. Talk about lame.
