All I did was open my garage door and look at my driveway. If it was frozen, no school.. regardless... I had to walk to my bus-stop and my driveway is a hill. If my driveway is frozen, the streets and sidewalks are as well and there is zero way I can get to the bus stop without slipping on my ass 4 or 5 times (I had to cross diagonally multiple times so I couldn't just walk through the frozen grass).
Of course, the surprise day off when the driveway wasn't frozen was always good, but those were usually announced the night before... maybe twice it was announced at like 5AM (when most of us had to wake up to even make the bus).... I'd usually get a shower the night before and just wake up at 6AM in my clothes for the day, skip breakfast and dip. Screw waking up at 5AM to get to the bus stop by 6:10AM just to get to school at 6:50AM, just for classes to start at 7:50AM. The fuck is that? Fucking teachers wonder why I slept through every class I could.
