Students Enjoy Snow Day Activities Across Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids students spent a snow day sledding, shopping, and sleeping after the district canceled classes Tuesday night. Chad Regennitter, 17, and his brother shoveled driveways then sledded near Regis High School while others like Erin Quass, 15, browsed Westdale Mall for gifts. Transportation director Margaret Hamed said the decision to call off school was easy given heavy overnight snowfall and uncleared county roads, with final approval by 5:45 a.m. She and district staff monitor weather from 3:30 a.m. and issue the call to the superintendent’s team.

Snowbound dairy farm chores on Ternus, Cedar Rapids area
Ternus braves deep drifts to milk at the 10 mile northeast of Vinton dairy farm. She reports 3 percent feet high barn drifts and requires extra bedding and higher energy formula for calves as chores take twice as long. A snow blower and husband Marty clear the route for the night milk truck to pick up.
