The MCPD is now saying that the school closing information they received was NOT official, and that they to are awaiting school closing information. Stay tuned.

I guess the next question should be, why isn't are schools officially closed yet? We all know that there is going to be a foot and a half to two feet of snow on the ground, and record cold temps. We have working parents that have to arrange for daycare for their children if there is no school. I don't see the reason to delay this any further. There is no need to wait until the last minute as if some sort of change in the weather is going to happen.
