Air Date: 1/20/2005

The schools suspended bus service at about 11 last night – and the students who were left behind – had to spend the night in classrooms. City officials say it’s unclear exactly why so little snow caused so many problems. WUNC’s Morning Edition anchor Eric Hodge spoke with Mayor Charles Meeker on Thursday morning. Meeker says Wednesday was a very frustrating day for drivers – and for the police and road crews who were trying to help people get home.
