My school district didn’t even have busses. The rule was that if the superintendent could get to school, then there was going to be school that day. We joked that the guy must drive a half-track with how rarely we got snow days. I remember walking to school one day in a full-on blizzard with a bottle of Mountain Dew stuffed into my enormous winter coat pocket, and when I got there it had a distinct layer of frozen slush on top. Good times. Built character.
You grow up in the northeast?
