We have our first official snow day!! Of course it's not for snow, it's for the horrendouly cold wind chills. Now, for those of you that aren't locals, that certainly doesn't mean we haven't had any snow yet this year. The problem (for the kids anyway)is that it keeps snowing on Fridays or late afternoon so they have plenty of time to clear the roads before school. That being said, there have been a couple of times that I was amazed that they didn't cancel school. School just simply doesn't get canceled in our little town unless a child could possibly freeze off some appendages walking to school. Last year there were many days that every single school system around us was out, but our kids still had to brave the elements!! Of course, a few of those schools also went to school alot longer than we did in the summer because they had to makeup calamity days at the end of the year, which would really stink!!
So, today we're hanging out here. It's actually up to about -1 degree right now without the wind chill. It's only supposed to get colder by tomorrow, so I'm sure tomorow will be another day off of school. I just talked to my mom and she took Dad to work this morning so he wouldn't have to stand and wait for the bus. It's about
-10 degrees without the wind chill there and that stuff is headed our way. BRRRRRR!

Im sure they wont have it 2morow...Kassandras going sled riding but not for a long time...I wouldnt dare let the other girls...too cold!!
It's chilly here, I figured it must be really icy there.
These snow days worked out well for the kids. With Monday that's a five day break!
I wish we would get some snow. It's the coldest down here than it's been in a LONG time, but no snow in our forecast whatsoever! Plus, the way our contract works, if we don't have 5 days out this year, we don't get paid next August! And, my husband and I both work in the same district, so that will be a month of NO income! Not a good situation!
