Suffern central is closed for today. My son has school but I need to drive him. My daughter's playgroup is open. There is a winter weather advisory in effect today. Are you driving today?

There is a winter weather advisory. Do you have four wheel drive?

As of now I am planning to keep my boys home and work from home.

I don't want to get stuck when I need to pick up the boys. BTDT

It's only supposed to snow till 12 & it's not snowing yet... I don't see why there shouldn't be school.

It only helps your car, not all the other cars on the road that can skid into you.

I don't think it is the snow as much as ice bec it is so cold. . Snow and rain etc. ..

I totally agree. But being able to not skid on a downhill is helpful.

Yes. They make a mountain and of a mole hill in Rockland due to liability issues.

And I am glad they do. Many places have no sidewalks and are hilly with kids not having a safe place to wait or even walk to the bus.

My kids are in three schools and they have off. The only yeshiva I assume is still on is probably Bais Dovid.

My kids school is closed and im very happy. They are predicting snow and then freezing rain. Icy conditions. Why risk it? I do not understand people who get upset at school closings. (And yes I am a working mother). If you were told on a random day that there is a significant chance the car with your kids in it will be involved in a serious car accident, and you had the choice of putting them in that car or not, why in the world would you put them in that car??
