That is too funny and true too. However, I was talking to someone in northern Wisconsin the other day and all her area schools are authorized to close when the temp is below 15 (not -15). Needless to say, her kids were home, it was -10 when she went to work that morning.

 

They did that with South Dakota schools because of the ice factor. And the fact that there were kids walking like a mile in 10 to -10 degree temps, without the windchill

 

I get the collywobbles when the temperature drop below 32 and a severe case of the higeauxflips at the first sign of snow.
