yeah its a snow day!! this could not have come on a better day i was suposed to have a math test today but now i can’t!! i woke up to find about 8" of snow and the radio said buses were cancelled!! so i went on a uni ride, and boy did i get some looks, all the cars were strugling to keep in control while I’m plowing through the snow with ease this is the best snow day ever!!
only 8 inches for a snow day??? was there freezing rain before it snowed or somthing? you live in canada man! you should be chill in WAY more snow than me! … we dont get a snow day unless there is more snow than the snowplows can plow or there is more ice that you find on a frozen lake… they will make it so people arent late for first period if they crash thier cars, but they will rarely call a snowday… i envy you man
there’s no snow here yet…its just cold and miserable out right now
suprisingly this was the first real snow fall of the year for us, and plus our school board is full of pansies who are scared of everything, also the first snow fall is always the most slipery (apparently) so, it all works out in my favor ROCK ON!!
Around here, school gets called off when we have extreme subzero temperatures and high windchill, since it’d be bad for the kids to be outside waiting for the bus in this weather.
I used to walk in the streets to kindergarten in the U.P. because the sno-go machines would pile 10’ of snow on the sidewalks.
When Mary and I lived in D.C., the radios would announce a threat of a snowflake or two and the schools would panic and send everybody home.
Here in the UK it takes nothing more than a light frost before WEATHER CAUSES TRAFFIC CHAOS headlines start appearing everywhere.
More snow please. Snow is fun, and we don’t get enough here!

Quincy, IL hasn’t even had any snow yet, But its 20 degrees outside!
Snow days are fun. *
You can’t make it to school but you sure can make it to the sledding hill or drive 65 miles to the ski area.
*Unless you have too many and end up not getting out of school until July.
We hardly have snow days around here, people just drive anyway. We have probally 7-8 inches right now.
But we almost did the other day. THe roads were icy, the wind was blowing snow, and cars were sliding off the road.
A lot of times what happens with the first snow is that the ploughs and stuff just aren’t ready for it yet, so it doesn’t have to be very big for it to be a problem. We haven’t had any collecting snow here yet, a flew flurries but nothing more. I can’t wait for it. We had a ton of rain today though, my basement is flooded and its coming down oone of the walls. Our house is like 100 - 140 yrs old, and the foundation is made of stone. The basement is also unfinished, but it still has never come in like that.
TheDave,
When do your hills usually open up? Ours are like mid-late December.
David
i was gonna ask if it is okay for the uni to go through snow even if its up to the cranks or what
Our hills are opening this weekend, some on thanksgiving. We’ve had some good snow a little early this year.
Usually they don’t open untill after thanksgiving though. (the 24th)
I think the one in Whitefish opens this week too?
Which doesn’t help me much, 'cause we aren’t going skiing untill JANUARY.
I want hurricane days! 
yeah, don’t we all? I mean no, snow days are better, less damage… although if it distroyed your school that would be like 10 snow days
Hah, my school gets cancelled if we get 2-3 inches of snow, or less than an inch of ice.
not like that like if you are out of school for a week( we were) then we dont have to make it up. but we do, this year thay are allowing us 3 free days
SATURDAY!!!
We dont get snow in Arizona!!! (or at least, in southern arizona)
i don’t get Snow days but then again i get to sleep tell three then start working
home schooling is sometimes its good
