I got a snow day today, yay.  But it's because everything is a sheet of ice.....boo. We're supposed to get some snow tonight, so if we don't have school tomorrow that will be 4 snow days this year. We're allowed 5 then we have to start making them up . I don't want to have to make up snow days later this year....


Anyone else off today ?

unfortunately, no. we're working today, it was just rain this morning. We're hoping for it to ice over tomorrow morning though so we get a day off. God knows I could use one.

I've been off this entire week... due to illness. I much rather be in school that here at home feeling the way I am and having to make up all the missed work.

Being sick sucks. I'd rather do anything than be sick. But I've some how been extremely lucky with sickness, haven't thrown up since like. 4th grade I think. I hope to keep it that way.

Florida sucks, you don't get the awesome winters.

just took this, as you can see the freezing rain just turned to snow. So now we are going to get a bunch of snow on top of all the ice....

From pics of your house, I would assume you live in an isolated area? I always loved the feeling you get when it's snowing in an isolated place. Everything is so quiet and calm. Probably one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had.

Snow day here, just because we are suppose to be getting 10 to 14 inches by midnight they called school with out snow on the ground. Around here that never happens.

Where I grew up as a kid, there was only one other house you could see, and it was empty during the winter. It was so absolutely calm and quiet, you're right, its really one of the most pleasant feelings I can remember growing up.

Then I got old enough to shovel, and I've hated winter ever since.

It's extremely isolated. Even right now you cant see any other houses. Heres a shot from the summer, this is just about my whole front yard. And it's nice and quiet. But it's not bad having the peace and quiet when its warm out 

PS: If you wonder why the grass looks like that, a lot dies in the winter due to crappy sandy soil so we we're regrowing some of it.

Just about every one around me got a snow day today except for me. We got like 6 or more inches and they still made us go to school today. I was kind of glad my truck wasn't working because I know I wouldn't have made it to school.
