Stormy Weekend

You know the conditions outside. I suspect plans for sledding the bill hills are already made. It is cold out there. A lecture about frost bite and freezing fingers and toes might be in order. Yes, they will roll their eyes. But maybe they will remember their gloves.

Check the news for continuing developments. The freezing weather is expected to stay with us. This is Minnesota and cold weather and tough people go hand in hand. But standing at the bus stop in the morning is going to difficult.

If you have driving students, the situation at school and in neighborhoods is going to be very confused and congested. If it is possible to car pool or park further away those plans might make sense for the next several days. These might be the days to drop off your students and eliminate the parking issues.

The snow piles are huge. Side streets are going to be more narrow and slick. There are going to be fewer parking spaces and piles of snow in odd places. The temperatures are below zero and with wind chill are dangerous. Be careful and have everyone in your family take a little more time and lots of patience. Pack some extra clothes in the car and be prepared.

Winter in the north lands. But the sun is bright and crisp.
