We just got a wonderful gift this afternoon here in NashVegas; Metro Schools are closing Jan. 16 due to extreme cold.The official memo: NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 15, 2009) – Metro Nashville Public Schools will be closed Friday, Jan. 16, in response to forecasts of extremely cold temperatures and out of concern for student safety.
District administrators made the decision to close after reviewing weather forecasts and consulting with local meteorologists who are forecasting lows of 0-2 degrees Fahrenheit during the early hours of Jan. 16. Many MNPS students will be waiting at school bus stops, walking to school or waiting for MTA buses at the time of these low temperatures.
As a reminder, Metro Schools will also be closed Monday, Jan. 19, in celebration of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

There was much celebrating when we got the news, and yes I told my students as soon as I heard, it's pretty damn mean to keep that kind of a secret.

They closed alot here today...&0 schools in Northeast Ohio have already closed for tomorrow...Congrats to the teachers, but they didn't close for cold weather when I was a kid...We're making our kids wimps.
People aren't used to it being 0 when they are waiting for the school bus here.
The kids would complain a little but they'd get over it. It's the parents. Too many parents, (I only use that term because they gave birth to them) would raise holy hell if they were outside. Of course they'll also bitch that kids aren't in school.
I'll enjoy the time with my daughter.
