Prime family makin time this weekend

Guessing that’s why I have an October birthday

Sorry, lived in Grand Forks ND 5 years and routinely saw actual temps as low as -40. Never heard of an exploding tree.

That's because there are no trees in ND. They all exploded from the cold thousands of years ago.

Des Moines just cancelled school. I'm betting the burbs are doing it soon.

I'd be more surprised if there's a district that's open tomorrow, I'm sure Ames will cancel soon.

Yesterday, the Ames superintendent still wanted school on Friday. As others cancel, I'm sure he will eventually follow suit.

Makes sense. I doubt many preschoolers are standing outside waiting for a bus or walking a mile or two to school most days.

That would not describe my neighborhood dynamic

Some of my co-workers are working from home tomorrow because it's going to be cold. They are appalled that I have not chosen that action. Nope. My kid's daycare is open. He's going there and I'm coming to the office.
