Yes, some Northerners will laugh at us but we don't get enough snow here to make it worth buying snowplows, etc. I think our last snow was in 2010?
Anyway, there are kids and teachers still stranded at schools. My husband said that several buses couldn't get to his school and finally, the out of town teachers volunteered to stay with the students overnight since they couldn't get out of town anyway.
Me? I'm hunkered down at home with my husband and 5 teenagers and some snow-loving animals. I have on my giant "Sig Ep mom" sweatshirt and plan to drink coffee and read all day.
And you?

Also, snow fell from the sky, but it became ice on the roads. A key fact.
A total mess in my town too. I think all the kids got home from school yesterday (no busses for us either) but everyone was reporting 3-5 hour commutes for what is normally 10-15 minutes of travel time.
