Snow

[dananne]

Well, the 13 year old me is really jealous of the 33 year old me. After seeing the other schools closing, I made the decision to close school today. Yay! Snow day! [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Actually, I find it somewhat amusing, as this amount of "snow" wouldn't have even canceled my soccer games growing up. In fact, I can only remember school closing once -- during Chicago's famous "Blizzard of '79" when about 27 inches of snow fell over the span of a couple days and nearly 90" fell over three months. That Jan., there were only 3 days above freezing, and a record low of -19* was set. (Innkeeper can stop laughing now -- it's not Maine, but this was bad for Chicago).

Here in Atlanta, 1" is cause for a mad dash to the grocery for milk, etc. Which brings up the serious question -- If people are worried about power outages and an inability to get to the store, why do they buy perishables? Wouldn't it make more sense to be buying canned goods or something? I don't know, maybe it's just me . . .
