School buses freeze, leaving kids to wait in cold - The Denver Post

School buses refused to start, leaving kids throughout the metro area to wait in bone-chilling cold for pickup; frozen pipes burst; and drivers lost traction on icy streets Monday when the mercury plunged.

At 2:53 p.m. the temperature in Denver was locked at zero degrees, according to the National Weather Service. That followed a record low of minus 19 early Monday morning.

School buses throughout the area balked at starting in the brutal cold. Denver, Cherry Creek, Jefferson County and other school districts experienced delays as portions of their bus fleets refused to go.

"Up to 24 buses out of the northeast terminal wouldn't start this morning, and eight schools were delayed up to an hour for bus pickup," said Denver school district spokesman Alex Sanchez.

About 100 of Cherry Creek's 298 buses wouldn't start when batteries failed or diesel fuel thickened, said district spokeswoman Tustin Amole. Some kids were forced to wait for up to an hour; the average wait was 40 minutes.

"We had to replace batteries in almost all the buses that were affected," Amole said.

The delayed buses came from a temporary facility where there aren't enough electrical outlets available to plug in block warmers that keep idled engines warm, she said. The diesel fuel that failed was supposed to work in temperatures down to 25 degrees below zero, she said.

Almost half of Jefferson County's school buses were disabled when diesel fuel thickened, batteries died and throttles froze, said Melissa Reeves, a district spokeswoman.

As Obama announces his heroic team of global warming fighters, the view from Chicago: 75% of nation shivers; city faces its first 3-inch-plus snow of the season

The brutally cold January-level arctic blast that roared into the area on 40 m.p.h. gusts, accompanying a 12-hour 45-degree temperature plunge Sunday night, loosens its grip on the area Tuesday—but snow is the trade-off. Snow, likely to fall steadily over 10-12 hours and begin between 2 and 5 p.m. Tuesday, is to produce the first 3-inch-plus accumulations of the season in Chicago and across the southern suburbs. Totals of 3 to 6 inches are expected over most of the area by the time precipitation winds down in Wednesday's predawn hours.

It's the latest wintry assault on an area experiencing its fourth-coldest December open in the past quarter century (since 1983).
