We had an early dismissal Monday, snow day Tuesday, and a 2 hour delay today... A nice, abbreviated week!! :)

It's snowing in areas of the US where snow is expected in the winter.

Must be a slow news cycle.

I live in Maine. I have no idea how much snow we actually got because the winds were so bad (my new dog, who came from Georgia, was NOT impressed!). If I had to guess I would say we got about 20 inches. There are bare spots in my back yard with grass showing through, along with 4 foot drifts in other spots. We got 2 days off!!!! I think this storm was more about the hurricane force winds than the actual snow, up here anyways. We are supposed to get another 6-10" tonight into tomorrow, and then there's talk of another big storm coming on Monday.

A weather geek friend said the Monday storm may be way south of us (northern New England)....here's hoping!

Well we got 28 inches of snow so we had an early dismissal Monday as well as off Tuesday and Wednesday. Finally dug out and we are back today but I keep thinking it's Monday! This was our first snow day/early dismissal all year! My kids were loving it!

I live/work in a suburban district in Western NY state so... we NEVER have snow days. Lol it'll be -15 degrees out, 4 feet of snow and here we are. Im exaggerating, but seriously, its tough to get a snow day! Usually it'll be because of extreme cold, lots of snow falling FAST (if its already snowed several feet and is mostly over, a lot of times we still have school because they figure the plows have gotten to it), and ice storms that they'll actually give a snowday!

Hope it comes my way...this week has been crazy wild. I want, no NEED a snowcation! PLEASE Just one or two days!

We rarely get snow days here in NY either. I guess we are just used to it. None used this year so far...

We only get snow a few times a winter if lucky and it's usually only an inch or two so when we do get anything over 3 inches schools will close for a couple days at least. Well my brother moves to New York and woke up to 6 in of snow and was like WooHoo-snow day for everyone and surely they didn't expect him to go to work but nothing was closed. Schools, businesses, etc all open as usual! So yeah New York prepared and equipped to deal with it! This year any snow days we get we have to make up so no free days off anymore.
