HEY NEW BUS DRIVER: IT'S WINTER. ARE YOU FROZEN YET? 

Hi, Miss Hood. You are SO right about this time of year being the worst time for drivers. Thankfully, first quarter of 2023 hasn't been too bad. Still, though, I'm 64, and the 4:30 AM alarm is really taking a cumulative toll. The end of this school year will be 9 years for me. My goal is to follow in your footsteps and retire then. You too had 8 or 9 years in, didn't you? Glad you're back. Best Wishes!- J

Don’t forget to show up a little early to start your bus and let it warm up before you leave.

Miss Hood!! So good to see you in front of the camera again! I never knew that there were valves under the hood of the bus that you had to turn to get heat. My 17 birthday is coming up in May and I am excited. I have always wanted to get my CDL and that is still the plan. I have been deciding between school bus driver or being a truck driver. When I was going to school last year our bus had broken down before fall break and we had a sub bus, and the heat would not work, and boy was it cold in that bus. I now do online school. Great video like always!!

Here's a meme I made up about winter that's relatable but also funny Mother Nature (to Syracuse, New York): How much snow do you want this winter? Syracuse: *YES* (this is to joke about the fact that Syracuse receives 123 inches of snow per winter)

Good Morning Miss Hood! Wake up time is 4:30AM but what time do you have to clock in? What is a breakdown of your typical daily schedule? Thank you!

You Still Delivering Rvs Miss Hood.

What's up Miss Hood! You're back! Love this video! Those buses make me think of being like me following your footsteps!

Welp, this was some pretty helpful advice, especially since last week, my new area (I say new because if you haven't heard, I moved last summer and it ruined my life) but anyways, last week my new area got snow, but we still had school because there was only like, 1/2 in. - 1 in. of snow, but still there were cars coming down the highway with snow covered windshields which makes me wonder how the buses even got the snow off. I ride a short bus (Bluebird Micro Bird G5), so I know it was probably a lot easier for them to brush the snow off but my brother rides a full-size Bluebird Vision (which is Bluebird's Conventional model bus), and this is the new version with the updated grille, and the updated grille visions have bigger hoods, so I wonder how- just how- they managed to get every spec of snow cleaned off my brother's bus. By that evening the snow had all melted though, but I was literally just in awe to see how they got all the buses free of snow, considering 82% of the fleet is full sized buses, most of those being 40-foot long 84 passenger buses. But really, thanks for the new upload :D

It's Great To See You Back Miss Hood It's Not Frozen Down Here.

Miss Hood, it's good to see a new video from you. I never knew that about the bus heater. I wonder if there was a similar system on our Blue Bird TC2000 (the Tolley Cruiser) as it was a flat nose bus? I might have to ask Steampunk Steve, a fellow RU-vidr, about this since he converted a 1999 TC2000 to an RV. Glad to see you are doing good. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

It is great to hear your voice again!..are you on the bus drivers sub list at all?

This was a fun video Miss Hood.
