Notice that there is no snow or downed tree branches in this picture? Today, after 7 lost school days, school has resumed for Richard. And it is a usual "short" Wednesday. There was no power in his town since the big snowstorm Saturday October 29th. Power was restored to most of the town only by Monday evening. Tuesday was Election Day (schools typically closed) and the School Administration used the day to make sure the grounds were safe (e.g., no downed wires, etc.).
