I have to add this! When I went to school back home in Minnesota it was nothing for it to be 10 to 30 below zero with wind chill, we still had classes and my Dad was Transportation Director and the buses would still run in the rural areas, sometimes we had school 2 hours late, but we had school. It’s a different world now, I know. No i did not walk 10 miles to school! LOL LOL! And it was not uphill all the way!! LOL LOL
