Nor would I want to sit for hours on 290 or 225 for hours due to iced up overpasses and multiple accidents to complicate it all.

My boss who is from Chicago commented about being used to driving on bad weather days but added that the roads to get to work were flatter and he didn't recall having to deal with frozen overpasses, etc. on his commute and that is where the difference comes in.

They don't have overpasses or low bridges in Chicago?

We got the robocall about 20 minutes ago that FBISD will be operating as normal tomorrow including extended care.

Only before school extra curricular activities have been canceled for tomorrow.

I think school districts are taking no chances like today even though it will be 6 to 8 degrees colder in the morning I think there will be a lot more ice but school can not afford to have another day off they should delay start till 10am to 10:30 am
