Freezing rain. \u00a0Record snowfall. \u00a0Polar Vortex. \u00a0January thaw. \u00a0 Three snow days meant extended Christmas break (1 day before, 2 days after). \u00a0Students love it. \u00a0Drivers, not so much. \u00a0But this morning, the 1″-2″ thick ice in our street meant entertainment out our front window, frustration for a bus driver, and late arrival to school for a busload of elementary students!<\/p>\n

\"2014-01<\/a>
After several unsuccessful attempts to drive away, the driver called for another bus to pick up his young passengers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The children walk carefully on the ice to the rescue bus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

\"2014-01<\/a>
Though one of the parents tried to stop him, the driver of the rescue bus came too far down the road and had difficulty backing up on the ice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

\"2014-01<\/a>
The empty bus sat here until a school pick-up truck came to throw salt down enabling the driver to move on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

Fortunately we had no pressing appointments this morning since the end of the driveway was blocked!<\/p>\n

I’ll bet the driver wished this was the Magic School Bus<\/a> that would transform into a flying machine to transport the students to school on time!<\/p>\n
