and the answer to the school question is....

Yes, there is school today, despite the -16F/-27C reading in my backyard -- it's only -4F/-20C at KARB, and -10F/-23C at KOZW -- apparently the buses started. (DB is not going, though -- home sick. He grunted at me and pulled the blankets over his head this morning, not something that he usually does. Anna-cat went back to sleep on his bed, rather than coming down to "help me" with breakfast.) [ETA: Ah. That's why. There is little to no breeze.]

Yes, there is rehearsal today. It will be cold coming home, but I really cannot afford to miss this one.
