Am I saying I agree? no, I also walked home in a lot of snow, now more kids seem to take the bus, I might be wrong with that, I don't have stats. But I do know that it's more drop off at the house now rather than one bus stop per neighborhood. So the bus stops every 50 feet in some areas.

When we lived in SW CT, (2007-2014), there was at least 1 winter storm that I recall in our town that began shortly before school let out and it intensified fast. Some busses full of kids got stuck; some took several hours till after dark to complete their routes; parents had no idea where their kids were or if they were safe. It was chaos. I think towns and school systems today want to completely avoid that scenario and simply cancel school.
