UGGGH! that dreaded white stuff! the worst is when it all begins to melt and get slushy and then freezes back over. My own children are in grades 2 & 5, so I have been doing school runs for years and know the struggle.

I use a runabout, the big wheels make it a bit easier to get through the snow. After a new snowfall I leave for school runs 20-30minutes earlier then usual just in case, I have the weather guard so the kids aren't exposed to the elements. It was a big investment, but soo worth it in the winter. Ive used an ice fishing sled as well but I find it gets really heavy, we walk up hill both ways. And its nearly impossible if the roads have been cleared, or if any neighbors have shoveled and salted.
