Schools in Albuquerque are closed today. It snowed, so schools are closed. I just don't get it.

In the Snow, Up Hill Both Ways
Growing up in Montana, EVERYDAY was a snow day and school never closed. We wore moon boots and carried our shoes in our backpacks (and if one shoe fell out of your backpack on the the way to school, you just had to wear your moon boots all day because your mother had better things to do than bring you another pair of shoes - that is understood, so you didn't even try to call). In Montana, back in my day, you walked to school and you walked home from school EVERYDAY. It mattered not if snow was dumping on you and it's below freezing.

As a Montana girl like yourself, the wimpiness of every other state apalls me. Did you have recess even on rainy days outside? We did. And at Pippi's school, they don't even allow the children to wear boots all day long. Weird. I think they should just be glad the kids wear shoes.
We have missed so much school this past week or so its crazy. And we live in Massachusetts! So we were without power for four of those days, but they got out early on Friday, and today they have a delayed opening. I grew up with a lot of snow as well, and you just went to school, and had recess no matter what the weather. I don't get it either.
