When I was in Iceland I used to go to school in blizzards. Get some chains for the school bus tires and train the bus drivers to drive straight and confiscate their phones. Kids don't need to be missing school for this crap.

It shouldn't in this weather, at this point it's just a little snow. Kids are on those buses. They need to get better bus drivers and/or train them specially. We have a ridiculously high rate of bus crashes here.

:lol:
Uncle in PA drives a school bus and basically said that when dealing with those hills you sometimes just have to ease down (yeah right, as well as the breaks work with 2 feet of snow :lmao:) and try to keep it as straight as you can...not that uncommon to have a bus spin at least 360* on the way to the bottom :jameo:

at least that's how I recall him telling the story :lmao:

That's because I'm smart enough not to try and go out for my license because I have epilepsy, I'm not trying to seize and kill someone on the road. That doesn't mean that the people driving our children shouldn't be better trained and screened to do their job more safely than they have been.

Well here in SOUTHERN MARYLAND we hardly ever get snow to the point that school busses need chains. Sometimes snow days are Gods way of saying that sometimes its okay to take the day off.

That's because people that aren't in Maine, Canada, or Iceland don't know how to prepare their vehicles for 2 feet of snow.

Pfft.
I'm pretty sure they do in PA :lmao:
They get a lot of snow and have to be prepared, because like I said, they have crazy hills (read: mountains) to deal with in feet of snow :lol: I can't even imagine :jameo:

I don't know about St. Mary's but Lusby had sleet coming down before the snow. Nobody can drive on ice.
