I noticed that they didn't even bother to designate today's cancellation. In the past, it has been
Incliment Weather Day, or
Ice Day
but not once this year has it been a Snow Day.
(Maybe once back in Ought-10, but it's just a hazy memory.)
At any rate, we are currently using our very last of the snow days built into the school-year calendar.
This is what it looks like outside my back door.
No, wait. THIS is what it looks like outside my back door:
...which is exactly what it looked like on our last day off of school, eleven days ago.
I'm careful not to be critical of the people who make these decisions. I wouldn't want to do it. I understand that our county (and therefore our school district) is ridiculously large, with varied degrees of development and terrain. I understand that some parts of the county have gravel roads that are not plowed. I understand that the safety of every child in the district lies on the shoulders of whomever makes the decision to cancel school.
I understand. I don't judge. I certainly don't want that responsibility.
I would, however, kindly request that this person, or people,
SEND FOOD. NOW!
that is nuts, buddy. we have about a foot on the ground and i laughed when the hopeful boys wanted to see if school was canceled this morning.

It is nuts. Boys played basketball outside all the livelong day...
