   Yes, I'm sure that was a really tough situation down there with all the snow   
   and nothing to clear it.   
      
   The school system in our county has been really off this year on weather   
   related issues.  They opened on time on Monday right before it started snowing   
   heavy.  Buses were picking up kids and it was looking like a blizzard with   
   covered roads.  Then just as they get to school, they close them and sent them   
   back out in the middle of the storm instead of waiting for it to end in the   
   early afternoon.
