Geggy and I live in Salem, MA. Most of Massachusetts schools are closed today. This is only the second time in my life it's happened, the last was twenty some odd years ago.

The problem is kids get frost bitten faster and worse than adults. If they're waiting for the bus or walking to school, they can get frostbite in just a few minutes and you can't trust little kids not to do some dumbass thing like loose a mitten or hat. In addition, nothing here is built with this kind of cold in mind. Pipes are freezing, cars won't start, the power grid is strainingg, etc.

It's like when it snows in the south. We don't know how to handle this kind of cold. Me personally, I don't have a problem with it. I even knd of like it. I am however, using my kids being home as an excuse to tay home myself. It's a mile walk from my house to the train station and it just didn't seem like fun to me.
