So, in New York we were used to the occasional Snow delay. Buses would be delayed an hour or two due to snowfall. Kids woke up and watched the local TV station to see if "their school" showed up across the bottom of the screen.
But in Delaware we have encountered a new type of school delay, the FOG delay!!! It really does get foggy down here sometimes, and 4 or 5 times last year school was delayed due to fog. Somedays early in the morning we can not see the houses across the street, but two hours is enough for the fog to lift enough for the buses to get through. This morning Austin went out to the bus (it was foggy, but not to bad, at least by us), and 15 minutes later came home, with two friends in tow, all excited of course!!! What a great way to start the school day, two hours of video games with your friends before going to school!!
We need to get back into the habit this year of checking the website if it is at all foggy. No watching the TV and waiting to see your school. The state of Delaware has a school closing site that can be accessed through your districts website, which lists all delays and closings by 4AM - very cool!!!
