Talking Snow Day did you get one?

I was just wondering how many of you that still are in school got a snow day today? Up here in nort eastern Ohio over 300 schools were closed. My vocational school and my home school were both closed so Im now into a 4 day weekend. So where are you and how bad is the weather. Here its snow and ice. I looked out at the Black Beast this morning and shes incased completly incased in ice. Snow ***** gets the pleasure of sitting in a warm garage beside my mom and dads trucks. If I had ice skates I could go skating on my drive way is so bad. But its not bad enough to go ride the snowmobile.

Hey Monster, I got the same storm you did. But of course my school didn't close, but I skipped anyways. I'm not risking my neck driving on ice in my two wheel drive truck to go to one class. Just went out and scraped it off, took a good twenty minutes. Almost couldn't get in it cause of all the ice.

This is Rochester. It's snowing real good right now. It snows EVERY DAY here. Is that what you mean by a "snow day?"

I plow snow for a living so today was a "Snow Day!" I plowed for 11 hours today and have to go back out at 2am. Wow, my sleep schedule is screwed up!

Not quite as bad as last year! I have one snowfall where I worked 24 hours straight and another one where I worked 26 1/2 hours straight. I had a half hour coffee/dinner break here and there for those 2 shifts. The only time in my life I have seen it go from dark to light then dark to light! Wow, did I get some good sleep when I was done that!

I know whatcha mean about the sleep schedule, or lack thereof, with plowing beast. Last night I got up every two hours to check on the sky for what was supposed to be freezing rain by midnight, but didn't show til 6 am. Tonight's gonna get bad though. Good luck.

We had our second snow day here in Southwestern Illinois. We will probably go to school tomorrow. I see some schools have already decided to close for tomorrow. I doubt ours will though. I'm not lucky enough to get three days off work. Of course, it's three days of homework the students have to do. Hehehehehe!

Be careful out there.
