"The Breastfeeding Support Group has also been canceled."
On second thought, no comment.

It's not snow as predicted. Why are people flipping out? I can still ride my bike out there!

Are you in Jefferson County? It may be bad up there. We are right on the edge of the above freezing, below freezing line.

It's not bad in Jeff Co. My kid goes to Oskie, I work in Topeka. I called my before/after school care provider to make sure she had heard that they had called school at 1:00 and she said it was raining and that was it. It sleeted a little this a.m. in Jeff Co. around 6:45 to 7:15 but since then it's been basically rain. Go figure!

I scratch my head more often about the early dismissal policy of the Lawrence school district.
ksdivakat 9 years, 3 months ago
volunteer, dont you mena the Lack of early dismissal policy??? LOL So everyone think the snow storm has missed us again??

Why? Lawrence Public Schools haven't canceled anything. Why should they? It's just rain falling right now anyway.
ksdivakat 9 years, 3 months ago
today is just one day ava, usually it takes an act of congress for lawrence to cancel school and in the 18 years my kids have been going to these schools, I cant think if a single time that the schools dismissed early for anything unexpected.

By the way, I thought I heard Channel 6 say this morning that the snow wouldnt start until after dark tonight, and then its really anyones guess, Ive heard anywhere from 4-8 inches are expected?? anyone have any updates??

Lawrence schools got out early a couple of years ago for bad weather. They also call Snow Days when it's not that bad. Now cancelling KU classes, that takes an act of well, whatever you call god. And even that has happened a few times in the last few years!

Schools here RARELY let out early... Except that stupid Wed crap (refrains from ranting on that) From what i have seen the snow, sleet and freezing should be happening tonight. BUT all these storms have missed us in the past and i hope this is on of those times as well. Just think we could be further east and in a tornado warning.

I appreciate the weathermap link, TOBob, as well as the good humor with which you delivered it. Anyone else recall a couple of Super Bowl's ago when all the local TV weather folks were warning us on Saturday night/Sunday morning to cancel our Super Bowl party plans, then it turned out to be a normal February day, cold but not treacherous at all?

Everything is pretty quiet in Franklin County thus far.

Only time in the past few years I know of that KU cancelled classes was right after the "micro-burst" because shingles were falling off the roofs and tree limbs everywhere. So they deemed it unsafe and cancelled a couple days for cleanup.

I remember KU canceled two days of classes in...2002? I don't remember it being much worse then than it is now, but I lived in the dorms then, so it's possible I just wasn't aware of how bad the weather was because I didn't even really have to leave the building.

ksdivakat - I'm not saying that that they shouldn't cancel classes. I'm just saying that waiting isn't the worst thing in the world. At the time of the article it was noon and it was just rain. You want them to cancel classes then? Yes, they did predict 4-8 inches. I've lived through these predictions and woke up the next morning with nothing on the ground. Why would they dismiss for the unexpected? My point is that we should wait and see what it's like in the morning and then make a decision. Yeah, it might be an inconvience for parents, but sometimes that's just the way it is.
