Snow day number 6 for us this year. We usually will have 2 or 3... but all 6 have come since Jan 10 so it just seems we have not been in school at all...

We actually had a 'snow day' on Friday....It got so cold (15 - I know, a walk in the park in Chicago)that the pipes froze and they had to turn off the gas, so no heat....thus no school...
But it's back to 'normal' now...
Should be great weather for the 'Hit-a-thon' and Home run derby this Saturday to benefit the shooting victims here in Tucson....

It's not the temperature I worry about whilst strolling in any of the Windy City's public parks.

Nine days here in CT where 2 or 3 is the norm. Day nine was to inspect all buildings and remove snow and ice from rooftops!
this looks like our 1st full week of school since before Christmas!

We are up to 6 in our corner of Connecticut. ENOUGH! 3 is about average. Even the kids don't want any more snow days.
When I was in Kentucky we used to get several snow days because if someone turned on their water hose and sprayed the road we were out. But since I've moved to North Carolina we have had maybe 3 in the three years I've been here. I truly don't miss them at all. I guess this goes back to that maturing thing people talk about. I would rather come to work and get it over with so I don't have to make it up over the summer.

- If shoveling was easy then everyone could do it.

I don't know what day this school district's year should have ended. I don't know how many snow days they've had so far. I heard the end of a news story a school district in Massachusetts will be in school until June 27th.
Shoveling was easy. I didn't mind because it's exercise. Now I'm excercised out and I have tendonitis in my elbow. Thankfully it rained last night. It was supposed to be three more inches.quote:Originally posted by gotwood4sale:

4thGen sent me a text last week because his school had a snow day but coach had them in the gym at 8 for a long practice with plenty of conditioning.
At least they didn't have to shovel.

I believe we are up to 12 days out. No school since Thurs feb. 3rd because of possible structural damage to the high school because of the heavy snow.
No definite answers on "if" or "when" they will allow anyone in the high school.

Probably not a good story here but still brings a smile to my face. One year in Kentucky we got hammered overnight with snow and school was cancelled. My standing rule is that on snow days we would meet at the gym at 1 PM to practice unless they hear different. Our school system was pretty aggressive in calling off school so vast majority of time it was safe to have practice.
This was one time the roads were too bad. I started calling the guys and have them call each other to cancel practice. I knew I had everyone notified not to show up but I went out to school just in case. As I'm pulling into the parking lot there are three trucks in the parking lot doing donuts. Yep - all three were my guys. I pulled up to them in my truck and asked if they got the message. They said yeah they got the message but they knew this would be the best place to do donuts. So for the next half hour all four of our trucks were doing donuts in the parking lot.
