I remember a winter back in the late '80s ('87?) that there was a foot plus of snow on the ground around the rock....literally shut the town down for days. Between the LRPS teachers going on strike for a week in September and that "blizzard"...I remember going to school on several Saturdays and going after Memorial Day to make up everything we missed. Our kids were supposed to get out on May 29th this year; it was announced this morning that they'll be in class until the 3rd. And that's before any more of the frozen stuff flies.
