Fortunately the snow in the hollow blew away before daybreak, so the buses weren’t hindered.
If such variation is the price Rappahannock must pay for its geographic diversity, are there ways to compensate so that Rappahannock’s children won’t fall behind others in the state?
Anybody Got Any Bright Ideas? i Here are some suggestions that have reached Dr. Gangel’s ears and summaries of his responses to them:
• Simply equip each bus with chains.
Each bus does have chains, and each driver has the option to use them. But state law allows them to be mounted on the outside back wheels only. The law was enacted after some chains on an inner bus wheel broke, hit the brake line of the bus, and caused brake failure.
CJhains are little help in fresh snow, because the wheel that has chains (the outer one) allows you to dig out, but the inner wheel simply spins.
Another problem is the difficulty of mounting the chains, the bus drivers aren 't supposed to drive on cleared asphalt roads wearing chains. The drivers usually face the chore of putting On the chains with children sitting in their buses.
