Title: We're Working Tomorrow
Post by: Buzz on January 26, 2026, 11:44:43 PM

The new mayor has determined that there will be no problem getting children to school tomorrow and all schools will be open and on regular schedules.

The roads I was on today were not in good shape and some of the narrower streets that we go on will be a challenge. I predict a record number of late reports and possibly some stuck buses.

What do you suppose are the chances that shop employees have dug out and cleaned all the snow off the buses?   ;D  ;D  ;D

Be safe everyone!

Well we already know there's gonna be a foot of snow in the yard, so that's gonna be a challenge in it's own.

Yeah, I remember after the blizzard of '96 making a turn up one of those hills off Jersey St. and sliding dangerously close to a telephone pole on the corner, They had to come with a wrecker and another bus.

Also, I remember it being a 2-hour delayed opening after that storm which should have been done tomorrow,

Might as well give them your late report before you leave the yard!
