It’s a trend now.
And agree about the uptick in missing people. So sad

A couple of points:
Those working class parents rely on the schools as daycare. It’s not like they can telecommute.
The schools are heated and I believe every student in New Bedford gets a free lunch. An awful lot of the working poor in triple decker tenement buildings aren’t running their heat and their kitchens aren’t stocked with food for their kids.
The schools need to be open whenever possible even if attendance is optional.

Whatever we get won't last. We're getting upper 40s the second half of the week.

But also be brother is coming up from Florida for Thursday so I'm sure he'll love this :p

In North Andover, in the early 90s, we ALWAYS had school. Even when the rest of the Merrimack Valley cancelled school we had to go in. We rarely had delayed openings too

If it's on the edge of temp for snow then it basically can be all over the place because a few degrees temp swing can mean all snow or all rain.

God I moved from Holden recently and I miss our snow bullseye! Still thinking about the 39” storm in 2014-2015 winter

It’s not crazy unusual for a March snow dump, but, yeah, nobody really wants that anymore.

People that hated their kids during covid

What is it about highways that make them the dividing line between storms every god damn time they put out a forecast? It’s like 495 is a void that warps time and space. And tires.

I was so mad at the fall back change I left my car clock and coffee maker the same so luckily tomorrow I will have nothing to change.
Hope it stays. I hate how early it gets dark(moved from western EST((Indiana)) to Mass last year and it's my only genuine complaint. )

Realistically, the majority of kids in the state (or country) do not walk to school. Most don’t even walk to a dedicated bus stop which is why it takes 18 years to get to work if you don’t time your commute perfectly in the winter and you don’t live in a city.
Second, there are going to be pros and cons to every decision (including keeping things the same). In the days after we lose the hour of sleep, statistically speaking, you have a greater chance to be involved in a motor vehicle accident than at any other time of year. There are also other things to consider such as seasonal affective disorder which affects millions of Americans annually and may be significantly mitigated by having more daylight hours in the winter.
