Snow in Laredo?
Snow flurries or snow showers won't affect driving too much.  Watch out for bridges though, they are always first to freeze over. 

Note to TxDOT, please, please, NO GRAVEL  on the roadway.  It does not improve driving conditions.  It only makes it worse.

UISD Schools Closed - My thoughts on the real reason.

UISD is closing tomorrow.  But I bet you think it is because of the cold weather and the concern for the children.  I would bet you, and most likely be right, that UISD is closing because of low attendance.  There were less than half the kids in school today from a normal day (anecdotal only from friends with kids in school.)

My bet is UISD closed because they would be losing lots and lots of money (that is what drives school districts today) because of kids missing from school.  Hence, close the school, blame the weather, and have a make up day in May.  What about the poor kid(s) who actually studied for that test and were ready to take it, or were ready to make a presentation they had worked hard to complete.  Oh, it's not really for the children, but for the money.

Thank you LISD.....Dr. Nelson you are looking better day by day.
