Snow shuts CCs of Spokane for 6th day in 2008-09


The ongoing deluge of snow has shuttered CCs of Spokane for the 6th full or partial day of the school year. Spokane has suffered through record snowfall in the month of December. And it's expecting more snow in the next couple of days, then rain and possible flooding.

Whew.

The most recent shutdown was unique because it was ordered by Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich (unofficially known as the sheriff with the coolest name in the west.)

Knezovich's statements suggest that he was less concerned about the colleges than the K-12 schools. The sheriff was concerned that buses would get stuck and kids wouldn't be able to scale the snow drifts and ice berm.

Crazy days. And for this educator, another day off.
