Snow Delays and Winter Days

We had another two hour delay this morning.  Doug and I were not surprised as the roads were drifted partially shut in many places last night.  This winter has definitely been a true winter filled with lots of snow and cold weather.  Delays and bad weather throw the students into a kilter.  There are times that I think two hour delay days seem longer than normal.  The students are usually more energetic than usual and have a hard time concentrating.  Everyone wants to talk about the decision to delay or cancel, their trip in on the bus or the short class schedule.  By the time we all focus, the class is over.  I am not complaining, however, as I would much rather the students be safe than to come in on time.
