In 32 years of driving I have never seen a clusterfuck of traffic like yesterday. 45 minutes late to all stops for both schools. (And my first stop of the day is usually only 10 minutes from the yard.)

Anybody top that???

👍👍👍👍shop guys                         👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎management &  infrastructure

I was joking when I posted yesterday about the snow being cleared off the buses but low and behold almost all of the buses were free of snow this morning. I don't recall seeing that ever before.

Thank you guys!

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

That's exactly what I did while warming up the bus

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,

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.

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?      

Be safe everyone!
