The schools should be closed. It would be ridiculous to send small children out (or even older children) with what we are facing here in Chicagoland, weather-wise on Monday. You won’t catch me going out, as I am older and not an idiot.

I live in Richmond, VA. Just the threat of snow closes the schools! Then, everybody buys bread and milk. (only a small exaggeration)

I guess asking politely is out of the question for a union?

Funny,
I’d like Chicago schools closed - permanently - because the teachers are IN that foul union.

I live 28 miles from downtown Chicago. 15 mile from O'hare field. Weather Channel is calling for -16 at 7am, -17 at 8am, -18 at 9am. With windchills at -43 to -46. Though I delivered papers, when I was a kid, in temperatures like that
(in 3 feet of snow...both ways...in the middle of the summer...and I liked it),
It was my job and I was dressed for it (somewhat). We're talking 404,000 kids. A lot of those kids will be walking to school.
We're talking a lot of kids from "deprived" neighborhoods, where people don't have an ounce of common sense and need the government to come along and wipe their noses for them.
Its probably best to not have classes.
But should still have schools open, in case some don't get the word, or need a warm place to go.

We just received an e-mail and a telephone call from the Naperville School District (203) that the District 203 schools would be closed on Monday, January 7, 2013. But then, it gets colder out here than by the lake.

I suspect the schools would be closing anyway. The union is just grabbing a headline.

In the Lehigh Valley (PA), they’d sometimes close schools because of extreme cold and snow and the ski resorts nearby would be standing room only. What a joke!

Bunch of wimps, when I went to grade school in Arlington
Heights we walked all the time, sometimes the snow
would be piled up on either side of the side walk to
where it looked like walking down a white hall way.
I remember having our Halloween parade around the play
ground in snow 3” deep.
Course things were different in “those” days.

Why not? Kids will miss nothing worthwhile. Only BS is on the current agenda.

One of modern life's funniest rituals !
My ritual is to buy my groceries a month's worth at a time and keep about a two week buffer. While everybody else is running around in a panic, I'm watching snow pile up on the truck.

Before cell phone cameras, a sign at the women’s restroom entrance at our Wal-Mart read “Closed due to plumming.” Thank God watermelons weren’t in season.

It’s okay for the commie ‘RATS to demand a “shutdown”. Let the Republicans try it and their *** is grass.
