Snow makes holidays longer than usual

As we say in today's paper, most school systems decided not to have their students come back for one day before winter break.   Baltimore and Harford were the exceptions. School systems argue that the snow on side streets and sidewalks would mean students were walking in the street.  Not all city streets, in particular, have been plowed. We interviewed some parents who would have preferred not to have their sweet creatures underfoot in the windup to the big holiday. How do all those kids feel though?

Well, it's better to be safe rather than sorry in case of snow.... it's easier to keep the children at home rather than have them get trapped by heavy snows at schools, where they are going to be little Mr. and Mrs. Crankies by the end of the 'imprisonment' in the schools.... which, I personally would be agreeing with them being cranky about that.
