So Slim, work is going to completely stop Monday-Tuesday on dairy farms, livestock farms? Farmers will just leave diesel tractors and skid loaders in the sheds and take the days off? Or will they adjust the fuel mixture, have changed fuel filters before winter set in, and conduct business as ususal? I have full confidence that the local school bus company mechanics are every bit as intelligent as we farmers are in adjusting to a cold snap.
Now using your example, students "stuck in the driveway" could just walk (yeah I remember when people walked, you know, like used their feet) up the driveway to a warm farmhouse. We're teaching our children to be whimps. Classrooms are well heated and a cold winter day is a perfect time for learning. Better than keeping students cooped up in classrooms in June when they're all looking out the windows at the nice weather.
No, I wouldn't favor operating school buses when high winds are drifting roads shut. But that's a different situation than it's just cold outside.
