RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 NWS has the heat index pushing a hundo so with some schools not having proper ventilation just a day into the new year, I don’t mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons why the severe weather threat has been shunted even farther southwest. If anything, dews are going to be dropping through the morning. Hell, even the 850 front or boundary looks to come through early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly you wouldn't let your kids run drills with no water in 100° heat at soccer camp. How are they ever going to experience the joys of heat stroke if you keep coddling them? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes this more absurd is its not even going to be super hot or humid tomorrow. I mean if the threshold for cancelling school because of temps in the 80's and dewpoints in the 60's school may as well not start until October 1 and end in May. It was Waterbury school...that district is very odd anyways but someone clearly is getting fed bad info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 This is absolutely the most absurd thing I ever heard. I just don't get it. You have people in these positions who are responsible for making decisions and supposedly are supposed to be highly educated and yet make decisions which fire ants even laugh at. There is absolutely zero basis for this type of call. Whoever made the final call on this and whoever was involved in leading to this call all need to be fired. What a total freaking joke.

They probably looked at some stupid freaking iPhone app or asked their piece of garbage google AI. That's all everything is nowadays, stupid bullshit apps and rubbing AI like its an Aladdin lamp and the genie pops out, tells them an answer, and they just roll with it. Its sickening.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 this is the 12z Euro's depiction for 2pm tomorrow indicating the 'real' frontal position at that time placing all CT zones in contention for some impressive heat ind values - just playin' devil's advocate here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a total freaking joke. ..far too many kids are treated like fragile glass. Just talk to hs football coaches, they will all tell you that once the "cold" hits in October kids begin to quit....parents complain about there not being an indoor practice facility....we both know that SNE becomes the Yukon in October... a player could freeze to death running around a football field....

Unfortunately, I think a large part of it is due to the fact that everyone is afraid of being sued and public backlash when incidents happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 100% insurance liability coverage and the litigation friendly United States. We see it in the ski industry all the time… whereas Canadian and European operators don’t even blink at some of the stuff that will get you sued and shut down in America. You are better off cancelling school 100 times before you risk that one single multi-million dollar negligence suit that’s front page news. How many lawsuits have we seen since the 1990s about high school sports and coaches? One kid passes out from heat stroke, has a seizure, and the coach/school is sued for a lot of money. The courts have decided the school is unequivocally liable for your child’s safety while they are there… and here we are now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend came across a story a few months back where someone is suing one of the candy companies (or trying too) because the candy didn't look exactly like the candy on the box or something. This is where we're at as a society... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Somebody from New Hampshire died of triple e. First since 2014. "It was the first reported EEE infection in the state since 2014, when three people contracted the disease, two of whom died. This summer, EEE has also been detected in one horse and seven batches of mosquitoes, state officials said" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
