The temperature has dropped about 30 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 24 hours (it& #39;s currently 38° and falling). Some after-school events are already being canceled at area schools. This poses challenges for working and single parents who rely on after-school programs. (thread)
Those challenges are very real, and are not to be made light of.

I& #39;m guessing that a lot of kids didn& #39;t wear appropriate clothing when they left for school this morning (it was 53°F when I left the house this AM).
And a lot more kids don& #39;t have clothing appropriate for the 24°F temps we& #39;re supposed to see later tonight and tomorrow AM.

It& #39;s been raining all day as well. Will there be black ice on the road tomorrow morning? Will the buses start? (NC& #39;s infrastructure is not geared toward addressing these things.)
These factors -- and others -- could cause some unexpected, and frustrating, decisions from schools.
