I've seen schools closed for snow that was only sticking on the grass.

My old school district was USD501 in Topeka, KS and they did not shut down for snow. One time I had to walk about a mile from the bus back to my house because the bus couldn't make it to my neighborhood due to snow. My mom works for USD501 now and tells me they still don't shut down for snow.

FYI Soleas.com [link] is having a 20% off sale on their already clearance shoes. good comfy brands. 3 days only.

I would say "Name(s) of one or more project sponsors."

That's what I was trying to edit away from. My business requirements document reads too much like a tech spec. But I'm the business doing the requiring! Just that I'm also doing the architect's job, and I'm not the architect. He doesn't seem pissed, but I don't want my manager to dislike the document based on it bleeding over.

Hmmph. Back to editing.

Oh. Then I would say Names, I guess.

Chicago's Streets and San department freaks out about any snow forecasts over 2 inches, but that's because every politician in the city knows the consequences of not plowing the streets--you get voted out next election.

A few years back right after New Years, we had the second-biggest snowfall in Chicago weather history--21 inches in 24 hours. The main roads were clear by the next morning, even though the back roads and alleys took another week.

The news headlines here are all 10 INCHES OF DEATH SNOW! !MILKBREADTOILETPAPER!!! and then you read the article and it is 5-10 inches.

But I did learn that the crazy President's Day storm was Baltimore's worst. Huh. That was the storm where I left the shovel in the trunk. But I've got bragging rights now!

I did learn that the crazy President's Day storm was Baltimore's worst.

I got on the local news for that storm. Because my neighbors and I had to shovel our street out. It never got plowed. And the local news lady was asking leading questions trying to get us to sound all pissed at the city gov't. But we were all, "Eh. They have limited resources. We'd rather they keep the major roads clear."

It might possibly, maybe snow here. There are six things forecast to happen that might mean snow, but there's no promise that those will happen and even if they do then it still might not snow.

That's been the forecast for a few days. No one wants to say "it will snow" because there's always a chance it won't. Since 1991 it's snowed 4 times. In 1989 we had 1" of snow but mostly it's the kind of snow that melts as soon as it hits anything.

That President's Day storm stranded my sister in Philly. She was on her way back from Italy to Seattle and had what was supposed to be a two-hour layover. It turned into four days, and even though my mom and brother only live 45 minutes from the airport, they couldn't get out to pick her up until her third evening.

East coast snowfall reactions provide plenty of comedy for us living in those areas which live with ice and snow all winter.

ETA: Not the snows themselves, the reactions.
