I remember when a time in the 1970's when we had freezing rain (Northern Ontario, Canada); the school bus could only go to a certain point on the route and had to stop.
Past that point, there was steep hills and sharp curves.
The schools called parents to get their children at the new stopping point; it was less than 1/4 from my home, so not a big deal to me.
A family about a mile up the road sent their oldest son on ice skates; he picked up his siblings one a time, took them home, turned around to get the next one.
Other families sent snowmobiles to get kids; the snowmobiles continued until all kids had were home; they picked up whoever needed a ride.
The furthest distance from the stop to home for the kids was 5 miles.

The buses were able to pull into my Aunt's general store (across from the pick up point) and make a U-turn in the driveway to return to the bus depot.

I don't miss that weather...
