Daily Talker: Too Cold For School?

This brutally cold weather has lead to some school closures this morning. It's some of the coldest weather we've seen around Boston in a few years and some city and school leaders are not taking any chances.

Mayor Marty Walsh said yesterday, "Out of an abundance of caution we have decided to cancel school...due to extreme weather conditions. Wind chill temperatures could drop below -20 during morning bus pick up and it is not worth the risk to our children and families."

Of course, for many longtime New England residents, this sort of cold is nothing new. Some parents are applauding the decision, though others don't think it is necessary.

What do you think of the decision to close schools due to the cold weather?
