Snow Daze

Now that’s my kind of snowstorm.

In other words, a few flakes, some wet roads and little or no accumulation.

Actually, the forecasters are telling us that they measured 1.5 inches in Drexel Hill, but I’m not sure where that fell.

In the meantime, those little creatures you see trudging along with their heads hanging this morning are schoolkids heading back to class after an extended winter break courtesy of Mother Nature. Most students have not been in school since last Tuesday. Tack on the Presidents Day holiday on Monday and it means kids have been off for a week.

Most Delco schools are operating on a normal schedule this morning.

In the city, some kids’ journey to school will be a little more involved because SEPTA has canceled some bus routes and has detours on others, all because many side streets still remain snowed-in.

In the meantime, schools will have to deal with how exactly to make up the time lost.

The snow days are nice, but no one likes the idea of extending the school year. Look for a few in-service days or spring break to get shaved to prevent kids going to school until the end of June.
