Going to my interview today should have been an hour, it took me an hour and 40 minutes to get there. Snow, only two -three inches but I went by at least 3 accidents.

I like it, actually. Years ago, my pop taught me how to make that dance fun.

Ha ha ha . . . gotta love Walt! He puts on a good performance until you're outta sight, and then he stretches out on his bed and snoozes until he hears you come home!

He has great hearing too. Usually in living room where his window is to the front. Nice and low. But I have found him Walt in my DD bed.

2-3 inches here means schools shut down.

Anything more than that basically means everything else starts shutting down.

We don't get aa much snow as you do up there, meaning we all panic when snow comes. With good reason, though. We got about 3-4 inches this week, and one county sent their schools on time. They have received a lot of backlash because there were over 150 accidents during rush hour that morning, many of them involving students. We're just not as equiped to deal with snow down here.

Nineteen days off for Christmas break, back for one, five days off because of cold temps.

I hope they do not give you extra hours later to compensate these "cold temp" days.

Me too! Last year they added an extra week of school to the end of the year.

Sometimes when I read my iPhone Posts that were done without glasses on I give myself a good giggle.

You know it's snowed a lot when you can't get your front door open.

That happened when my DD was heading back to the University of Illinois I believe after spring break. She took a 4pm bus which was earlier by a few hours and was thankful. They were passing car after car in the ditch. It got much worse a couple hours later. The storm was predicted and most believed they'd call school so they hadn't headed back then when they didn't they did start out. I believe the 3 administrators that could have called it were all heading from Chicago-land back to school too not being aware the others were not there. Once they got back down to school they called it but around midnight it was too late hundreds of cars, trucks, buses in the ditch and some tow trucks too.

They all had so much fun playing in the snow the next day. Many students had never seen snow. My DD walked around taking photo's.

Typhoon Lagoon will be closed again tomorrow for the 4th day in a row. When did it open, January 1st? It is only in the high 60's.

 

[Gabe1]

These are a few of those snow day pictures from my DDs University.

Never too old to play in the snow.

I see more snowmen!

It really depends on the school district for public schools. Some build 5-7 snow days into the schedule. Ifthey don'tduse them or all of them the school year usually ends early for summer break.

My district doesn't build days into the calendar so if we use 7 days we extend the school year by that many days.
I like the other way better, it is psychologically better. We have waived the snow days a couple times due to Summer Construction Projects but we still must meet the minimum state standards for attendance. We have also (which I didn't agree with) released the students at the end of the year and held the staff for inservice days which is legal by state standards for attendance. Keeping staff IMO is bad will. Keep them all or release them all. I lost that round.
