school closings

Published

Ok, Im looking outside at inches of new snow, watching the news and seeing all the school closings. Why is it that OCC, WSU, etc. all get a snow day and Macomb CC is not on the list? I have no desire to go outside today!!! This stinks!!:angryfire

It is very, very annoying. All I want to do is go back to bed!

Don't mean to sound harsh.........but, when you're a nurse, there is no such thing as a snow day. You come in to work no matter what. Snow days are for high school students. Suck it up.

Please, I was just venting, not really that serious.

Seriously, lighten up. I'm 27 and way past high school, been in the real world and realize that "there are no snow days". That doesn't mean I can't wish for one once in a while. Geeze.

Call me crazy, (lots of people do!!):bugeyes: but I miss the snow!

I am an uprooted Michigan gal who has been transplanted to Ohio. It is a whole new world down here when it comes to snow!! Honestly, we get a couple of inches and schools, businesses and entire cities grind to a halt!! I went to nursing school down here - back in the Ice Age (snicker, snicker) and was so surprised to hear people complaining when it got chilly out, or there was some ice/snow. Even our on-campus clases would get cancelled! WOW!

A couple of weekends ago, we got a really nice snow. (15" +) We were at a "LEVEL 3 SNOW EMERGENCY ":redlight: only "essential personnel" were allowed out on the roads. I you were not one of the chosen few - doctors, nurses, snow plow operators... you could get ticketed or even arrested! I have to give folks down here some kudos though, for not abeing familiar with the white stuff, they did a really good job of clearing it off.

Anyhoo - it's all melted now, we are back to our typical gray, rainy winter weather. So, crazy as it sounds.... yes, I miss the snow. Of course....... we don't have to shovel the rain. :) Hang in there ya'all!! Yours will melt too!!! Think Spring!!!

You can take the girl out of Michigan, but you can't take the Michigan out of the girl!
