Some times it seems like the best Snow Fort
or play snow is
always at the end of the driveway or some
place that's not safe for the kids to play
on.
Well - We fixed that by moving a snow hill
into the fenced backyard
so the kids can have a blast! - in the safety
of the backyard.

A Note on Our Opening/Closing and Preparedness:
We have only closed once in Our history -
The weather Servive had posted Winter Storm
Warnings and Blizzard Conditions which they
stated could be life threatening for the day. We took the Weather Service
seriously and determined that the safest
place for the kids that day would be at home
with their parents so we closed and posted
notices very early - We didn't want anyone
stranded enroute in the predicted Severe
Weather. (Their prediction proved to be reasonably
accurate)
On the rest of the days where the snow and
the cold is an inconvenience We know that
many Parents need to or want to get to work,
to take care of things that are very important
(business, medical, emergency, utility and
many other things we all depend on everyday)
and We know that Parents want to feel confident that their
Kids will be safe, warm, and well fed untill
they return. Thats the reason that we're
open every day.
One of the things that You generally do not
see is the emergency provisions that we prepare.
We Prepare emergency backup electricity,
heat, water, food and (even snowplowing)
whatever we need to be here for You and Your
Children. It's a lot of work and it's an
expense but it's necessary for Us, for You
to know that We'll be here when You need
Us.
Weather Notes
We access the latest "up to the minute
weather" by the internet subscription
services that supply aviation weather - because
it's, accurate, specific, up to the minute,
and gives us weather specific to each locality.
The latest weather "tool" we started
using - color weather radar (local), specific
information, notices, and weather alerts,
- delivered to our web enabled (color display)
cell phones - almost instantly - and anywhere
-
which is great for field trips !
We also monitor the National Weather Service
direct weather Radio broadcast, and of course
local radio, as all sources combine to give
Us the latest Forecast, Radar, and Weather
Notices. We can't guarantee the weather,
but We do Our best to stay ahead of it.
Thanks, Doris and Ken Wanagas
