As a commuter who drives, I would be more apt to go in on bad weather days if there were delayed openings. <br /><br />This way, I could have more time to drive more cautiously and have more time to park. <br /><br />However, delayed openings would make sense. The doe does not. <br /><br />Also, I feel it all goes back to us being a babysitting service. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-34897051111209696432018-01-09T04:26:44.813-05:002018-01-09T04:26:44.813-05:00Good question, particularly with so many subway de...Good question, particularly with so many subway delays.James Eternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578647381229034792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-42913913980255694162018-01-08T21:11:53.919-05:002018-01-08T21:11:53.919-05:00Why do the Nyc schools never do weather delayed op...Why do the Nyc schools never do weather delayed openings?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-8699338589292932492018-01-08T21:00:19.008-05:002018-01-08T21:00:19.008-05:00Every day is a snow day for Mulgrew and his bunch ...Every day is a snow day for Mulgrew and his bunch of bananas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-2985852202635428042018-01-08T18:38:47.570-05:002018-01-08T18:38:47.570-05:00Mulgrew told us we had only 2 snow days.Mulgrew told us we had only 2 snow days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-90813163849035979942018-01-08T16:26:13.087-05:002018-01-08T16:26:13.087-05:00I don't know, James.

It would have also meant that any future snow days would have to be made up.
