um, maybe. Sounds bad but most of that hupla goes right around us. However hubby will be staring constantly at phone screen checking out the weather . thankyou for asking
Our first snow last night, but, because the temperature is 23 degrees this morning, that snow turned to icy snow. My SIL (wife's sister) wanted us to send her, thru IM, some pictures. I told her "Sorry, no more pictures of snow/winter. We've got plenty of pictures and video of snow/winter from previous winters. Can't wait to get out of this!"
When I lived in the mountains, they didn't close school unless it was a whiteout or a chained-on all 4, four-wheel drive couldn't make it. They had at the most 3 no-school "snow" days a year. Now down here in the "banana belt" we get little snow and a 2" snow may shut down the school. A 5" snow would have it down for three days. They usually have around 7 days a year of "inclement weather" days since a light freezing rain may cause slippery conditions in spots and the super tests his drive and makes the call. If his shiny slick sole shoes slide any, that is a day off. They recently started allowing for 5 days a year as "increment weather days" that DO NOT have to be made up. If I was the superintendent, I would only have "snow days" when the snowflakes came to speak to the kids about questioning their sexuality. Now that is a worthwhile school closure.
It is humid John, damn humid even if the temperature is only 80. It is like being in a sauna. I think it is still humid even in a drought.
Almost all the elementary school students in the small Indian town I grew up in walked to school (you could see it from my back door.) Even with the snow banks over our heads, it never closed. It was weird moving to the DC area where things closed at the drop of a hat because of all the back-road rural routes that the fleet of school buses took.
When I was growing up, schools were almost never closed. The rural back roads were the determining factor. The joke here is that the new Anchorage school super is judging things like he did in Texas. Not the same climate....
I always joked that if incinerator ash fell around DC drivers, traffic would come to a grinding halt.
We Floridians know to bundle up when the wind chill factor gets under 72. Time to find that pair of socks I've been hoarding since 2005.
Yup, fall is coming Friday. It rained quite a bit yesterday and got some of my hay wet so I have to move it. The leak in the roof didn't used to be THERE. Today it is supposed to be really windy. Not too bad yet.
