Whitefish kids must be wimps We never got snow or weather days off in Great Falls, not even during the Great Winter of '68/'69, when it was routinely below -65F (before wind chill) in the morning. I walked a mile to/from school every day, and lived. Never heard of a snow day in Bozeman area either, and MSU certainly didn't grant any.... if they did, they'd have had to take all of January off every year!

It's not the kids that are the issue, it's when the buses can't run. We only get snow days when the county declares it for the most part and that's during emergency driving conditions usually.

Y'all must be wimps Never before have I heard of such a thing in Montana! In MY day, we all just made our way to school without the busses, and if you couldn't dig out your car and put on chains for yourself, it was just tough!
