When there is a large amount of snow, freezing rain or sleet, the streets are often slippery, making it dangerous to drive on them. It is especially difficult for a vehicle as large as a school bus to navigate safely under such conditions. To reduce the risk of an accident that could cause injury, or worse, to the children riding in the bus, school is often canceled for a day so that children are not riding in vehicles in bad conditions.
