SNOW DAY

Today I have a snow day. Being that I am a teacher that makes perfect sense that is unless you live in Florida! I think in Flordia they might be called Hurricane Days. I remember once school being cancelled because it was too cold. This was back when I lived in ND. School was actually called off because it was too dangerous to even go outside because it was too cold. Windchills I think were aound the -80 degree mark. I remember newscasters throwing water in the air and the water would freeze before it even hit the ground. Try this in CT and all you get is the water splashing on the ground.

This has been one strange winter. Just last Friday we had tempos in the 60's. It was Spring. I even saw some trees starting to bud. Mother Nature had even fooled them. Today we have no school because of snow and ice. Not a lot of snow, couple inches maybe but the dreaded ice is in the picture. I'll take snow any day but please no ice unless it's on a skating rink. I don't care what you drive it won't do you no good on ice.

The beauty of this storm is that maybe it will have snow and ice in it, there will also be rain which means it has warmed up and therefore will melt the snow and ice gradually which translates to no shoveling which will make my son Ryan very happy. Why invest in a temperamental snowblower when I have a strapping young 14 year old itching to build up his muscles and enjoy the great outdoors. :-)

Now I gotta go dig out the video "SNOW DAY" and watch it this afternoon. What a more fitting movie for a day like today. Hey, Hon!! Where's the popcorn?
