Thanks so much for all of your responses
The schools in my area have all closed (not just the transportation) due to the potential of a freezing rain storm :/
I'm open, the majority of parents decided not to send their children. One set of parents have done & they are the ones that travel a distance to work. Both of them travel over an hour & a half, and I guess I'm here wondering if they are going to get back on time for pick up.

Crafty: I although I don't live out in the countryside, I do like your 2 hour power outage suggestion

Mimi: Good suggestion too

Sunnydays: I agree. No driving today

Thanks again everyone I really do appreciate your responses, ideas and suggestions Still quite the newbie at all of this
