They tried to get the kids home because no one was sure how much we were gonna get. We wound up with 6 1/2 inches. They closed school today because you can't get in and out of the parking lots. They couldn't pretreat the roads because we had 12 hours of rain and it would have wash it all away. The road crews didn't start until everyone was home. They made themselves available for accidents or for ppl stuck in the ditches. Some kids live way out in county and it 2pm before they get home. Many, many school buses were stuck in the snow. This amount of snow was totally unexpected. We are suppose to get more tomorrow.
