I just charted an injury from a SNOWBALL fight!!!!!!!!! Nothing major, but......IT SNOWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our district was one of the very few that didn't delay the start of school today :angrybird10: So, what did our teachers do? Let the kids out to play in it for the first hour of school...there's about 700 kids sitting in their classrooms in socked feet - letting their shoes dry!!! :happy:

We had classrooms of socked feet from wet shoes today too! The kids were so excited to play in the snow.. the teachers let them all do recess before the morning bell even rang!

It hit too late here to be an issue for us on Friday. They've closed the buildings for weekend activities. We'll see if there's enough left on Monday to even get a delayed opening.

My favorite bit was a comedian in front of an audience in Madison, WI. He was talking about NYC being paralyzed by 18" of snow, or as you call it here, "a dusting."

To all you southern folk - BLACK ICE WARNING!!!! BLACK ICE WARNING!!!! BLACK ICE WARNING!!!!

Those of us who deal with snow know all about it.

BLACK ICE looks so innocuously like wet roadway blacktop or wet sidewalk. But don't be fooled!

It almost always occurs when snow melts during the day, but the temp still says low. So the melt freezes into BLACK ICE.

You guys usually don't municipally budget for road maintenance like much SNOW PLOWING and SANDING and BRINING. So it becomes a problem!

I'm from the great white north where we are more than equipped for this weather. What are all you southern folk doing to deal with the snow? It's not like you have city plows or sanding trucks to clear the roads and I doubt if many of you have snow shovels in the garage.

It was nice, a lot of our schools were still open and lots of kids went out to play in the snow that day.

I get how it bad it must be to drive in it, but the is the first time I see so much snow pile up!

It was a happy day for a lot of us. :3
