No Snow Day!

This writer was as crushed as any third-grader to find out school was open today. Many calls to the district's school closing hotline brought only busy signals for an hour until finally the phone rang and a male voice announced all schools were open.
That means a trudge to Maxson for a press assignment.
At least it gave me insight into what happens when about 7,000 people are all calling the hotline at once.
