The school administrators of Crawford County, PA, are either forgetful, mindless, or have ulterior motives when it comes to canceling, or utilizing the 2-hour delay.
Here's what happened on 2-5-09. The temperatures were chilling, below zero, and by 6 a.m. still at -16, -13 and -15 degrees with a small chill factor, around the area. School was not canceled, nor 2 hour delayed. Amazing!
Comparatively, on 1-16-09, a Friday, the morning temperatures were -14, -11, and -10 with a small chill factor, and warmed to 5 degrees F on a sunny winter day. And, get this, school was canceled that day, (forcing a make up day on Holy Thursday) due the to cold temperatures for the young kindergartners, pre-schoolers, and those who walk to school!
How different the decision a few weeks apart, with nearly identical weather conditions? This time, "NO CARE FOR THE LITTLE ONES!" Let them walk, stand in the cold, wait for the bus in the exact same -14 degree weather, when they were unable to do so a few weeks earlier.
There must be a very stupid, vile reason to use the "dangerous temperatures for children" excuse one time, and ignore it, on the very next weather occasion.
