    LOL I always get a kick out of the “no school vs school” posts… no matter what they do, it will be wrong, I assure you – just come back to North Escambia and read the comments when it posts.

    Personally, I’m looking forward to :
    Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 67.
    Saturday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 52.
    Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 68.

    Sorry to bust any bubbles, but school was let out during Ivan. I had relatives that were in Blue Angels Elementary and they were out of school for quite a few days.

    So will school be cancelled or delayed wednesday? Even if the south end is ok, the north end may have ice on the roads. Hope the schools have enough sense to just take a day. We didnt use any hurricane days, so there is plenty of time for it. Better safe than sorry.
