What's a Snow Day?

I must be operating under a false impression.

I thought the reason schools closed when there's heavy snowfall is because traveling is dangerous.

Children aren't safely able to make it to school and back.

Right? Isn't that the point of the cancellations?

I believe it is, or was.

On its website,
TMJ4 has some helpful information on ways to ride the storm out, "Where To Go For Snow Day Fun For Kids."

A winter storm is expected to enter the Milwaukee area Tuesday night and continue through Wednesday afternoon. A total of 10 to 14 inches of snow could fall in the area.

Below is a list of places you can take your kids that PLAN to be open Wednesday. Some of these places could close depending on road conditions, so it is best to call before making the trip.

Budget South Theater is showing the Bee Movie at 12:15 p.m.

This is nuts!

IF CHILDREN CAN GET TO THESE PLACES SAFELY, SURELY THEY CAN GET TO SCHOOL.

This is priceless:
