When I was in elementary school during WW2 and that also includes my wife the school never closed for the weather. When there was snow or ice the bus driver installed tire chains and picked up the students. We all lived on a farm and when were young we helped with the morning milking. That milk had to be out early for pickup by the creamery truck from Delaware.

My mother was working in a defense plant making 20mm ammo. It was my job to install the tire chains on a 1939 Ford she never missed a day from heavy snow. She did when there was an explosion at the plant. Some were killed. She was given extra stamps for tires and gas. My wife's mother there too. Farmers could get extra gas and tires for the farm equipment. I think the Cecil county schools in MD where I graduated from has been closed for 11 or 12 days from snow and they are closed this coming Monday.

Our daughter started school in 1960 and I don't think the schools closed back then. By the time she was in high school we were about a mile from school and no bus service she had to walk so my wife took her and picked her up when school was out. I put tire chains on the car so she could get around. Later on I studded snow tires for her car and they were very good on ice. Now the state of MD has outlawed studded tires. I think WV still uses studded tires since I bought a used Mercury Bobcat that had studs. To get the car inspected in MD I had to remove the studs. Hal
PS; The Bobcat is in this picture along with the wood splitter.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
