Geez, enough already.

I would take the snow... it's raining ice right now.

I was driving to the airport last Monday morning in about eight inches or so. Doing about 45 the whole time. I stopped counting how many SUVs I saw in the ditch, a few of them which had passed me doing 70. It's funny how few people realize that four wheel drive only helps you get going, not turning or stopping.

Yeah. We did get 4-5'' early last week and dumped on last Christmas. So I guess the weather forecasters are batting about .025 during my lifetime in KS (28 years)

I complain only because when I was a kid (and actually wanted it to snow), they would call for these huge snowstorms then I'd wake up to a dusting. Forecasters pretty much swung for the fences and missed more often than not until a few years ago. I guess technology is better now, so maybe I should cut them some slack. I'm still bitter about only having roughly 3 snow days during my entire K-12 existence. Now kids get at least 2-3 snow days per school year.

It has started here as well.

It just started snowing here too. We're kinda on the southern edge of this shit, so hopefully we'll get spared the heavy stuff.

Are we dead yet?

LMAO

I hear you there. My daughter was out of school three days last week, and should have gone on all three days. When I was in K-12, it took a lot more snow and ice to cancel school that what it does today.

The sky is falling! \chicken little

One of the days school was out here was because of a -10 windchill. WTF? I remember in grade school waiting for the bus with -40 windchill. Kid's today are pussies.:#

It's funny - up in Chicago, it's been cold, and we've had snow on the ground continuously since early December, but we've never gotten enough at one time to be anything more than just a bit annoying (other than the area of northern Indiana that gets lake effect snow - they've been hammered). Beyond that, I don't think there have been any school closures at all.

Seems to be shitty all around us, though.

And I'm okay with that. :D

Katie Horner just said shes working on a snow prediction forecast she will present at 4:00 PM.

Yep, we hardly ever had snow days. And even if we did, they never announced it until that morning, so we still had to do our homework and go to bed at our normal time. There was none of this announcing it at 8pm the night before like they do now.

Hell, I think instead of a summer vacation they should start giving the kids a winter vacation, between the holidays and snow days they're out half the damn time anyway.

too many schools were sued by parents who said they should have cancelled due to weather....and had kids hurt etc.

It's got to be tough for admin to make the right call all of the time.
They cancelled here monday due to ice, and it seemed like the right thing to me on the way to work, and an hour later it warmed up 5 degrees and melted off.
