No, they just use a metric calendar. It gives them justification for putting up their Christmas trees ridiculously early.

I know you know that it’s tied to a shorter growing season and earlier harvest up here.

Sure and that vast difference in distance (.05 meters) from the US border. But you win that argument, it is more logical to have it when you harvest then a bunch of time after. I always thought that we had it in the end of Nov. because there was more likely to have snow on the ground and corresponds directly with hunting season.

Snow flurries during the commute tomorrow. I hate when I have to worry about snow while driving. That's the sole reason I hate snow. I hate driving in it.

 

[PUSH]

Okay... not the sole reason. I also hate shoveling, and clearing it off my car, and kids putting on snow pants and boots for recess, and countless other things. But I could deal with all of that if it wasn't for driving in the snow.

There are plenty of teaching positions available in Florida. Did you ever consider relocating?

Don't give @PUSH ideas! His students and his school district would have a meltdown if he left. He's popular and they need him there!!

Very good. I respect that. Great job @PUSH

I mean, it would be similar if you left your music students for another state -- a lot of unhappy faces, you know? Good teachers are worth their weight in gold.

LOL, I wasn't expecting PUSH to say: "Hey Steve, that's a great idea to move to Florida". I just wondered if that was ever contemplated on the snowiest and most miserable of winter storm days.

Oh, I know! Just giving the same cred to a good teacher like yourself as well. Sharing the compliments.

I’m okay with snow driving generally, but I HATE driving in rain at night.

If you think that is fun now wait until the cateracts show up. Everything becomes a spectacular starburst light show.

I spent almost 63 years up in the snow constantly areas of the country and a lot of that was driving a passenger bus in white out blizzards, freezing rain, fog and considerate other drivers that would not put their headlights on low beam. I got my license at 16 and never left that area until I was 63. I knew how to drive in snow and other adverse conditions, but I hated it. I hated the cold, the snow and everything else that is associated with winter. I can remember driving a full shuttle bus in the evening between Burlington, VT. and Montpelier, VT. Just a mere 34 miles, straining to see if I was still on the road, gripping the steering wheel so tight that my hands went numb (carpel tunnel surg. fixed that part). I'd look in my interior mirror and see heads bobbing up and down as the passengers were sleeping and my thinking what the hell is the matter with you folks. You see what's happening out there and you should be afraid, you should be very afraid. I know I was. Fortunately, I never said it out loud.

It was a “yellow” year for us.

We are right in the middle of fall colors here and they are actually as spectacular as I have ever seen them. All kinds of bright red, yellow, beautiful orange ones, deep purple and, of course, all mingled with the green southern pines. It is as pretty as any I have seen in Vermont, but I might have just gotten numb to them over the years and didn't notice anymore. I'd take pictures but I always see them while I am driving and heavy traffic so stopping can get quite dangerous.

I'll post one from a few years ago just so it is more then just words, but instead a show and tell.
