NYers don't know how to handle the cold. It shuts down the city for a week. Beachwood, however, is basically a beach even if it's -20 outside.

Apparently too cold with the wind chill for kids to wait outside for the bus. And once the city buses cancelled, the Jewish schools did too.

I don't get it though, ORD or MSP kids would never have school if that were true.

Thats why you got to live in long island, where we have door to door bus service.

The city of Beachwood provides free door to door busing. That's why I don't get it.

It's likely just what the kids are prepared for. MSP kids have the proper winter attire for -10, CLE parents aren't buying their kids a new wardrobe for 1 day of -10, so schools cancel...

Miami kids don't play outside if it's 30 outside because they don't have the clothing for it... Same logic.

I suppose. Though it's not in the negatives unless you count the wind chill.

That's the nitty gritty of what temp is that temp, but I'm just saying I see the logic.

I think all schools send that down here.

I take my kid in the costco fridge every now and then to make sure he remembers what Cleveland feels like :))

funny story. Just talking with one of our caterers. Was scheduled to have refrigerated trailers by 3 events this Shabbos. Just got a call from the company saying that , they  are blessed to deliver but the refrigerated trailers won't stop all the food from freezing.

Probably had to cancel due to the rif-raf from UH and CH.
But TBH, most parents would rather drive their kids straight to school for 10 minutes than be home with/make arrangements for them for a whole day.

My boys had cheder yesterday, but not today, due to the cold. School was closed both days. In BP, if everyone drove their kids to school, the streets would make it impossible to do so.

the Jewish schools in some cities recently 'disconnected' their school delay policies from the public school schedule due to the simple cold. Plus for some day schools it's a 3-4 block walk, vs. 5-6 miles on a bus for some public schools.
