Got up to watch news at 5:20, and all schools were closed EXCEPT Memphis City, Shelby County and Memphis Catholic. Go figure. Get dressed, walk dogs through a rather heavy snowfall (for Memphis)...snow sticking on the ground and it looks like it would drop about 2 inches per hour at the rate it was going.
Back inside...by 6:20, still no closings, so I head out. Drive slowly, no sudden accelerations or turns. Parking lot is empty. Get inside, sign in, start putting up the days work and somebody shouts schools are closed. Yep. About 10 minutes before 7 they made the decision. School opens at 7:15. So I got to hang around a bit, answer phones to tell people "yes, schools are closed today" then drive home and go back out to get my oldest who was on the way to school in the carpool when the announcement came.
By noon it was getting colder. Little of the snow has melted, roads are clear but wet. Now it is below freezing (hence icicles) and will get colder as time goes on. A good day to hang inside and make baked goods.

They used to do the same thing to us here in No. Va. Twice we took Rae to school only to find that school had been canceled. WTF, people? PITA.
