Snow Days

February 7th, 2010

We don’t get much snow here and when we do it is an event. People panic and close schools, run to Kroger for groceries and buy a load of firewood from the guys in pickup trucks parked on the side of the road.

To be prudent, the school board allows 5 snow days each year to be built into the school calendar. Last year we did not use a single snow day. But this year, we have already used up all 5 and are going to have a 6th day tomorrow, which will have to be made up later this spring. And we still have 5 weeks of winter left to go!
