    Awesome news, I think CPS wanted to avoid the mess they got themselves into with the last snow so, even though this was much less snow and danger, they didn’t want to take any risks.

    The streets aren’t even that bad. This is a joke in comparison to the uncalled snow we had earlier. CPS really struggles to get their decisions right.
    Anyhow, its nice to only have pre-calc once this week.
