Freezing rain day

So school is canceled again today, this time for freezing rain. I look out the window, but it doesn't look all too bad. It seemed to me that they are really sensitive to weather here. It turns out, there are more reasons than the freezing rain for closing the school. The schools in Springdale are feeder schools for five other communities up to 30 km away and where the nearest village is still 20 km away. With freezing rain, it is too dangerous for the buses to run, so without the buses, there wouldn't be any students in school, aside from a dozen who live close enough to walk.
