We got up and shovel 4 driveways and sidewalks, so dad could get to work - He worked at a school, also shoveled for 3 neighbors, went back in ate breakfast normally hot cream of wheat and hot chocolate - got our homemade lunches and then walked to school a little over a mile for both elementary, middle school and high school. Never drove - never got stuck and only had 1 day off in 12 years - the one day of was after a snow storm and then temperatures dropped a little to around 25-30 below without the wind chill - wind chills were around 65 to 70 below most of the day - only day I can remember getting off. We also went on a wrestling trip up North (North of our house 3 hours) It was 30 below with wind chills approaching 80 below. The parents would start their vehicles every hour the bus driver kept the bus running most of the time - we all had our winter gear on in the bus plus we were all in sleeping bags on the bus - that trip was a little chilly.
