Well, it does not happen often. Minneapolis schools just do not closed. But today, Monday December 13, it did. Sub-zero temperatures and 17.1 inches of snow caused is havoc on streets, facilities and people.
So today was a sled day, dig out the driveway day, a bright sunny Minnesota day!
But tomorrow --- there is no place to park. If you can find any other mode of transportation than driving a car that needs parked - then do so. The streets all around school are single lane and there is no place to put a car. The school parking lots are a third of the way full of snow so there is no place for staff cars.
Wear warm clothes because if you do park it will be a long walk. The weather will be below zero in the morning so the usual darling cute but not warm look will not make it for several blocks.
Be careful. Side streets will be crowded and narrow. Snow is getting pushed all over the place and normal turns are now adventures. Don't assume you can stop. Move slowly around school and people and other cars. That is true if you are walking or driving.
This is another day of stories and tales to tell your grandchildren. I trust the day was fun!
