Lite news: Very few snow days in Labrador

I received the following message recently via email:

“Kids today, they’ve got it easy.”

With the brief message came a photo of a letter to parents from a school principal.


It begins as follows:

Dear Parents/Guardians:

During the winter months ahead, the following temperatures (chill factor included) will be used by school authorities as guidelines for closing schools due to weather conditions. These temperatures assume that students are properly dressed for this Northern climate.

Kindergarten to Grade 6 Minus 68 C and lower

Grade 7 to 11 Minus 83 C and lower

Yup. Kids today, they’ve got it easy.

So, if you’re planning to move to Labrador, make sure the kids have a warm coat. A really warm coat.
