Sundog Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I remember one closure between 1985 and 1992. 1989 and -35 on the thermometer sounds about right. The bars seemed to be busy, but I can't recall which ones I was at! Good thing I didn't get Danny Kris-toed! Quote

Oxbow6 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I remember the days when kids used to walk the brigde from Demers to the Hyslop. Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Kids today...such wimps. I remember when we used to stumble to Whitey's uphill, both ways, during blizzards. Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 All it takes is a couple students/kids getting frostbite then having hysterical parents and commenters criticizing schools and universities for not cancelling classes. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I don't envy the officials that make those decisions. Cause no matter what, they're going to have people b****ing about it. Quote

Was there ever a snow day during his presidency? (99-08) I do not recall a snow day when I was in school from 04 - 08. Quote

Of course wind makes a difference, gtfoh. Quote
