Really Henrico? Really?

Yes, I realize that Henrico County has missed quite a bit of school because of snow, but that does not mean making a stupid decision like today and opening when snow is falling on top of ice outside is smart regardless of the fact that the forecast said it would stop by 9AM. Nobody wants a ton of make-up days, but no one wants to die or be injured on the way to school either. It's a tough call, and I wouldn't want to be the one making it, but last Friday they cancelled on the threat of snow. It turned out to be a good decision, but I still think the best motto is "Better safe than sorry." We're not Chicago or New York or Vermont. We aren't a state that stays covered in snow all winter, so yes, we are all learning as we go, but let's err on the side of caution, shall we?
