Reply To: Did Your Children’s Yeshiva or School cancel school today? – It’s Ridiculous!

Not everyone lives in the 5 Boros. There is life elsewhere.
Schools and Yeshivos here in Southern CT cancelled. By 11AM snow was already coming down, and roads getting icy. The liability of possible school bus accidents was too great to hold classes. All schools, Yeshivos closed today, many will also be closed tomorrow,
Our town has more than 30% of homes without electric power. Many roads blocked by downed wires and fallen trees. A number of people killed by trees that fell on cars moving on the roads. State of emergency declared.
We have about 16″ of extremely heavy snow in our driveway and about a dozen 30-50′ tall trees that are down in the back woods. Fireplaces are all going in case power goes out….it is still windy.
Even if classes were held I would not have my children drive my grandchildren today or allow them to take the bus. My 11 year old grandson’s rebbi has scheduled a Skype Shiur at 9:30 today.
