I. am. shocked.

I am so shocked.  I can not believe that I don't have to work today.  Not that I am complaining about a free day off, I am just so suprised.   I am not sure why they made the decision to close.   I woke up at 5 in a panic and I checked outside and it was already raining and no ice in sight. I went back to bed and woke up at 6:15 to get ready and school was closed.

Wow!  I am happy for the day off. (Much needed mental health day with no sub plans required) :)

Re: I. am. shocked.

  • I'm trying to figure out why so many schools in Franklin Co. are closed? The roads weren't bad..I didn't see any accidents. My only issue was pulling into my parking lot and then walking into work on the bricks they have in the arena district..they were really slick.
  • I had no problems today at all either. It totally baffels me that a lot of schools are closed or delayed.

  • The two major districts that closed were Columbus City and South-Western.  I think they closed because they do not use 2 hour delays.  When they checked the roads at 3 or 4 in the morning they were probably icy.  However, the forceast said the ice would be gone because of the rain.   Either way, I am happy for my free day off.

  • A lot of school closed or delayed because of Columbus City schools closing. They usually follow suit because it is the largest district.

  • monkey see, monkey do... OOOPS!

    lol i was glad to not have much traffic to contend with this am... i had expected it to be so much worse due to weather!

  • I was up this morning from 2:30 until 5:30...they hadn't annouced any cancellations on NBC between those times.

    I was surprised too!!

    Enjoy your 3 day weekend!!

  • It's also supposed to get colder throughout the day and freeze all this rain that we have.  So I'm guessing they didn't want kids stuck at school. 

    Plus, our neighborhood (we're in SWCS) was really slushy and if the temp dropped even a couple of degrees, it would have been really nasty.  DH slid his way to the car this morning when we were leaving at 6:15. 

  • I'm surprised, too.  After my co-worker called me, I went back to bed.  But then I woke up to check the 'incoming calls' on my phone to make sure she actually called and I wasn't dreaming.

  • I'm so mad.  I got a phone call at 6AM from the person before me on our "school's cancelled" phone tree, but we just got a 2 hour delay.  Stupid 2 hour delays.  I really wanted the day off.
  • I heard that in Columbus, we don't get any "free" days this year and that all of them have to be made up.  Any info?
