Ziggy -

from what I recall the last snow day at Clarion was after I was graduated in I think 93, the year we had that big ass blizzard. From what I heard it was all quite festive. Snow kept the kegs cold...I'm quite sorry I missed it.

The worst thing I remember isn't snow but walking to class in rain that was literally past my ankles.

Actually, yes, literally, some places can't handle a little bit of snow. In TN snow is rare enough that they don't invest in equipment to clean more that a couple inches worth. I was talking with the our Leadership Consultant from national who happens to be in this week and he told me that in Arizona cities shut down from a few inches of rain. Now something that's really ridiculus to me is where my parents just moved to (small town near Huntsville, AL) the whole city nearly shut down b/c there were a few flakes, but mostly rain.

We have snow, but we also have classes today. All of Tennessee seems to shut down for a few inches of snow. I lived in Ohio for a while when I was. like, 5 years old, and I remember how much it snowed there. I don't mind though. It's just enough to play in, and if they want to give me the day off, WHOO HOO!!!!!

It's been a smelly snow day.

First the new dog had diarrhea on the carpet--and it was the really foul kind--and then one of the kids burned popcorn in the microwave. I though the smell had gone away but then I walked into the house after a trip to the bank and euuuurrrggghhh! It still smells like poop and burned popcorn!

Kind of hard to enjoy snow when you're stuck inside with smells like that...

I can't get anyone to go play in it with me. I finally went next door and helped the little boy over there build a snow man, and he wanted to have a snaowball fight, but since he's so little, I just let him throw them at me...

I ended up missing class any way because my car wouldn't thaw out.

I ran it for AN HOUR and my windshield is still solid ice.

There is no snow here, but it is friggin' cold outside! Right now it is 10 degrees without the wind chill factor.

I don't think i have had a snow day since i was 9 (11 years ago). In one night there was more than a metre (3+ feet) of snow dropped. If you ever wanted to build a decent snow fort, it is that type of snow fall you look forward to.
