In my opinion our school shouldn't be cancelled today. We don't have bus transportation so it's not like we're liable for people getting frostbite at a bus stop. We're a private highschool with like 200ish kids, but we base our cancellations off of a huge highschool near by. Every school around here is closed though too. Dress warm and it shouldn't be a problem getting to school IMO. Oh well, I enjoyed the extra 5 hours of sleep anyways!!!
