A blizzard forced the cancellation of classes in Winnipeg, but not in time to prevent some school staff from driving to work and ending up stranded because it was too dangerous to head home.
A school custodian said several support workers in one school division had reported for work Thursday morning only to realize classes had been cancelled. Some had driven in from outside the city and had to stay put because highways had closed.
The custodian was forced to remain with the support workers who waited out the storm.
