IU didn't cancel classes? I'm so stunned.

Mullet81, did they at least plow somewhat well?

Yay for Winthrop U. Snow Days!!! It's always a party when it snows in Rock Hill! Too bad people in South Carolina don't know how to drive! :-)

Butler hasn't had a snow day as long as I've been here. I heard there was a week many years ago, but only because it was over winter break and no one could get back.

Snow and ice mix is coming into Indiana tonight. I bet you all $10 dollars I'll still have to give therapy and go to school tomorrow!

about the "south" getting out for snow days.. at VT classes are hardly ever canceled. They were today though bc of ice.. we rarely have ice.. one other time since I was in school we had classes canceled bc the school just ran out of money to plow... there was snow always on the ground that semester so eventually they ran out of money..

ice is the main reason i think that certain parts of the south get out more bc when there is winter weather everything becomes straight black ice..

The malls around here finally closed at 5 pm. All area schools are closed already for tomorrow...I'm hoping the same applies to the mall! At least I don't work until 1!

Ugh - Wake says we have to come in as 12:00. I'm SO not happy! It's not like anything has melted since yesterday or the roads are any clearer! I may never get out of my neighborhood! Better get busy on this journal summary!

So I decided to telecommute today because of the impending storm...

It's 1pm and there hasn't been so much as a flake of snow.

I feel like a very big chicken now...

Spent the weekend in St. Louis for some AGD training and wasn't able to leave on Sunday due to an ice storm. Monday, left at 6:20 am and was at work in Detroit by 9:30 am. Picked up kids from latch key before the ice started here. Held my Cub Scout meeting.. went home and crashed. Tuesday, kids school called a snow day and it wasn't really that bad (but they were saying 3 to 6 more inches of snow on top of the ice we got all night.. but we only got about an inch). Stayed home with them, eating up a vacation day.

Snow days are not as exciting when they eat up your vacation time. I'd rather have a nice July day off instead!

Ready to move south.. so tired of winter.

ETA: Being stranded with 25 sisters is a lot of fun, once you accept that you're just not going home!

So yes, we have a snow day today. They decided to call off school for today at about 4:30 pm yesterday afternoon and it didn't even start snowing until 3am! Then I wake up and there are maybe 2 or 3 inches of snow...I bed they feel like idiots now for cancelling. At least I am not teaching today

Snowing here too. Technically. Will probably stop soon. Right now I've got half-assed snow.

WE already have a foot of snow on the ground from last Sunday/Monday's snow storm. Well as of right now we have about 5 inches or more, with a total of 12 inches expected through tomorrow...and they're NOT fooling around on this one! Schools have already been canceled. I'M SO SICK OF THE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was pleasently suprised to be called 20 minutes before work this morning saying I wasn't needed...I pulled the lucky # of the guy that didn't need to show up since it was gonna be a slow day. I'm off till wednesday night, which is real nice!

Usually, no such luck for me. I work at Offutt, and am considered 'Mission Essential' - I NEVER will get a snow day.

Good luck to getting the mall closed....that way, you can come visit me
