Coming down mad hard here in North Burnaby.

Can anyone answer this one though, I was looking at the school closures this morning for shits and gigs, and I noticed all the closures were pretty much private schools?

Why is that? Does god not teach when it snows?

Private schools almost always close before public schools do, I think public schools try to stay open as long as possible because they kind of act as daycare for a lot of families, whereas private schools don't serve the same function.

probably cus students in private school more likely to be from all over versus public where students tend to live relatively close

I don't really believe that's true, I went to a private school and my school never fucking closed which pissed me off lol but then again, it could be just my school that stayed open

I always thought it had more to do with things like public schools having buses but also in weather like this, a slip and fall could happen to anyone. Maybe the private schools don't want to take that chance so they call a snow day?

On a day like today where advance notice was given, the students were probably given take-home work anyway.


EDIT: Richmond-Lansdowne is feeling the fluff right now. I think I'll remain indoors...

It's snowing sideways at Waterfront and Burrard. It's sticking and it's slippery as hell. Cold too as the snow is wet.

Coming down steady in South Van. Finally, the snow storm has started. If you can close shop early and head home, it'd be a good idea.
