For the school districts, they're just being safe. They have a couple of days built in that can be used as bad weather days.. they don't want someone dying taking their kids to school because they hit a patch of ice.
For people working, it's just an excuse to have a holiday. It's not all "getting in a tizzy" or whatever someone said earlier in the thread.
And yeah, trust me.. it is bad in some places. And yeah, trust me, people in other parts of the country don't drive on ice any better than people here in Texas in general. And no, having a pickup doesn't exactly help anyone drive on ice in most cases.
