good decision... Not a good day for 16 yr olde to learn to drive on snow/ice

All - Shelby County changed their minds after the snow fell and will now be CLOSED today. Memphis City Schools are OPEN. Streets within the city are likely in much better shape than the county roads in rural areas. I'm guessing that's what drove the decision-making. Sorry for the confusion earlier.

Ignore my previous comment about city schools being open. That was before they decided to close.
