When I was a kid growing up in Kansas, we went to school in all types of weather, except tornados and blizzards.

Tornados didn't stop us, we had shoes made of thick lead for such occasions. Just put your head down and keep walking.

As for blizzards, one day I was walking to school against a driving ice storm, for every forward step I took the wind and ice made me take two steps back the way I came. I simply had to turn around and walk backwards to school. After getting to school the teacher announced that there would only be a half day of school that morning, hoorays all around! Then she said, "we'll have the other half this afternoon"
