Only the beginning of december and I get a snow day! sucks, though.. since I already got ready and bla bla, and it's only after that I find out it's closed. Atleast I didn't go to my bus stop.

Discuss the greatness of snow days!

gah, i miss snow days ever since i moved to the desert. i just used to lanparty over hamachi with my friends.

"Today: Periods of snow. High 28F. Winds SSE at 15 to 25 mph. 6 to 10 inches of snow expected."

Thanks for reminding me to bring an extra coat down the hill

Aww... You make me want to born again, but on a place that have snow

[Axy]

North York?

I fucking hate my district school board. I've been going to school in YRDSB for seven years now (just above Toronto) and there's been times of ridiculous snowfall - but never ever do they allow a snowday. Pretty lame shit. Whatever, I don't really care, I'm a part-time student now anyway and going for my scoliosis x-ray in an hour.

I know when I lived in Ontario, they absolutely refused to cancel school. If a lot of the schools students take the bus in, cancellation is more frequent as well

I don't think my univeristy has officially closed on a snow day in years. A couple of my teachers do like to cancel classes though!

me toooo
we never get snow here!

[Sida]

You guys should come here after Christmas
Doesn't snow in December really. But January <3

Last year we had to walk for 2 hours in snow after the busses all stopped. We passed 8 of the bus that we wanted to catch stuck in snow, helped a couple free their car, built a snowwomen and more.
Then there's the snowball fights and sledging.

Not to rub it in or anything

Well tomorrow or wednesday (particularly wednesday) I'm expecting a snow day. Over in Oregon where my parents are (gosh I should really call them now) there's been a wind and snow storm which my mom says they call the pineapple express. It's where winds from Hawaii bring huge amounts of humidity and moisture to Washington and Oregon and then it passes through the rest of the united states and southern Canada. Be prepared east coast... you're due for one of your three year blizzards.

Does school happen randomly where you live?

Snows starting to reall come down now actually

Sidewalks are like blocks of ice though...

[Jenna]

we needed at least 7 feet in the north for a 'snow day' ...

I am glad I love in the south now, less snow ... Heck no snow to shovel

[tastyphoxette]

One of the greatest things about living in the south is that if we have any sort of flurry at all, school is cancelled.

Even when there is no chance that snow will stick, school is cancelled.

>.> We don't know how to salt roads. XD

ack! I meant snow day xD

[Akira]

ack! I meant snow day xD

>^.^< It made me giggle, haha.

[foogie]

when I was in high school, my school district wouldn't close for anything. in all my school days I've had maybe 2-3 days of school cancelled b/c of snow.

on a different note, I went out and started my truck this morning in a -20 C blizzard.... I miss Japan

[Lawivido]

If somebody makes it snow in Los Angeles I'll give them a cookie. Oh wait. I don't go to school anymore.

[Krnsaber]

There's no such thing as a snow day in New York City public schools.

[Jeff]

I wanted a snow day today. The roads around me were bad as fuck. But the main roads were okay.

[Black Flame]

I love snow days with a passion. I always get at least one every year. They're always in January-April(yep, April. Michigan is weird like that ) though so I've no hope for any this month.

Mmm, what a nice, warm day it is here

"I had some snow days too when I was in high school" would've worked just as well.

[tastyphoxette]

I never had snow days, we had flood days *nod*

I get snow days, hurricane days, AND flood days... Does that mean I win, or that I should move? XD

[philywilly]

A little of both...

Well.. all i've had were snow days and ice days.. literally.

[Jenna]

i have hurricane days now... good old florida lol

[ShadowLink64]

The school board I was in wouldn't close school down until it was below -40C (-40F), if blizzard conditions were obstructing the vision of school buses, or if there was too much snow falling on the ground that they couldn't clear it in time.

That would leave about three or four days of school missed, but surprisingly only because of temperatures below -40C and maybe the odd blizzard.
