Roads aren’t too bad at all except for all the dumbasses who don’t know how to drive

Agreed! I pass this along to as many as I can! Unfortunately I don't qualify this year, so I have to branch out!
Thank you for posting this!!

I’ll never understand it, they call off for snow but not for ice, which is obviously much more dangerous? And the vast majority of students are young and new drivers, yet they expect them to drive to show up to class.
I do online classes so I don’t have the problem, but personally I would be skipping

The road to work was worse to drive on this morning than that snow day was. Thankfully a few people decided to not risk it.

Yeah, last week's call for a lot of schools was weird to me. It had been so warm in the days prior, and only snow was projected, I figured the roads would be just like they were. But it's a lot of pressure, and people are able to enjoy "snow" days more at home than ice days.
Ice though, ice I don't mess with. There are so many commuters, and the roads are not great. Unless they've salted gratuitously every stair and sidewalk on campus, I'd be worried about that too.

I've noticed the call off during snow but rarely with ice..

Funny enough, yes! This is a link to the r/youshouldknow page.
Everyone should know this, and I hope it helps!

The hot Buffalo wings I had at Ebbet’s field last night were excellent.

It's slick out there, barely made it to work. It's a bit of a ghost town

Whatever you decide…. Be careful one slip has the potential and everything takes a backseat to recovering from that fall.

I know how to drive on ice safely. And I'm sure many others do too. What you can't plan for is the people who don't but drive on it anyway. Or, even worse, the people that are still going to speed like idiots.

If you have to get out today, and you park your car outside, please allow not only enough time to go much slower than normal, but enough time to scrape all of your windows before you drive. I saw way too many with only part of their windshield clear this morning when I had to get out.

I left work at 7:30 this morning and the roads are very slick. Stopping and turning is a bit difficult, but if you keep your distance from other vehicles and drive SLOW, you'll be alright. If you're driving for your job (FedEx, UPS, etc) I'd definitely stay home, though.

They are really responsive to it too. I've reported a missing stop sign, graffiti and few pot holes, all were fixed in under 48 hrs.

Not putting yourself in a dangerous situation is the best way to avoid an accident. Good decision, make hot chocolate and eat cookies if you've got it. Man I miss snow days.

I drove in last night and am fixing to head home on 13. Go slow. Be alert, and you should make it. Modot has been put all night. I have 4 miles of hilly dirt road that scare me, but ive always made it
