The snow-day ritual is an old and familiar one on the East Coast.
On the night of a snowstorm, kids put a spoon under their pillow, wear their pajamas inside-out and flush ice cubes down the toilet - one for each inch of snow they re hoping for.

Mann and a couple of other mothers started the Facebook group, Members of Wake County Families and Teachers to Safely Reopen Schools, which has nearly 6,000 members.
Meanwhile, state Republican lawmakers are working on legislation requiring all districts to operate in-person in some capacity. Parents would still have the option of all virtual learning. I am there to support what they re pushing forward and I could not be more excited that this is something that s finally being done, finally, Mann said. It really should have been done a long time ago but I m very pleased by this.
