If they try to make tomorrow a 2 hour delay and the roads are as bad as they're expected to be, my kids are staying home anyway.
I don't blame you. And who in heck decided that 2 days was a rational number of snow days? Cleveland gets more snow per year than Minneapolis, on average, and certainly this is not an average year, for anyone. (Are you in the Snow Belt?) Also, just how much does it cost to extend the school year in summer to make up for those extra days, that schools would rather risk children's lives than do the extensions?
I agree with everyone who says 2 snow days a year is absurd. And stay safe and warm to everyone during the latest snowpacalypse. All the posting so far sound extremely scary.
Well, plus isn't there some point at which, if a certain number of their students don't show up, they don't get paid by the state for the day?
The governor here just declared a snow state of emergency and has the National Guard on alert. My university is closed tomorrow, so I'm staying home. Yay!
Sail, what state are you in?
I just took the first batch of pumpkin cookies out of the oven and they are my best batch ever! My grandma would be proud.
I LOVE my new mixer!
The state of EMERGENCY, Erin!
Well, I went to the store tonight, it wasn't too bad. I got lots of good stuff in case I can't go to work in the morning. My boss commutes in from Baltimore, so if the weather is bad, he won't be in.
We all have a snow day and I have made about 7 gallons of chicken vegetable soup. We should be good.
I don't understand this declaring a certain number of snow days, and then saying they won't exceed that, no matter what the weather. In NC, they've exceeded their allotted number of snow days numerous times, because when it snows, we just stop doing all the things. And then the kids make the days up later, either on a holiday or a Saturday, or they end the school year a little later, I don't exactly remember because I don't have kids. But I know they've done it.
But we also cancel classes on the possibility of it maybe possibly snowing the next day, so, you know, YsnowpocalypseMV.
Somebody drew the Steelers' logo on a board in the math department as the graph of a few sets of parametric equations.
