I’m so sick of schools closing because of a light dusting of snow. Do they not understand parents still have to work?

Blame culture has made everyone so afraid of being sued that that won’t be sensible about these things.

Back in my school years, school would be called off if the roads were too icy, or there was an intense blizzard.

Why I remember spending many a night during the winter months listening to the radio before going to bed so I could listen to the the weather forecast just to find out whether or not the following day would be a snow day.

Most of the time, it just resulted in flipping back and forth between radio stations, because while there's music playing on one station, there's be a news broadcast on another.

One snow day I remember, was back in the year 2000, I was 14 at the time, I was getting ready for school like I usually did and I unexpectedly got a kink in my neck and was worried about missing school because I had plans that day.

However, it turned out to be a snow day that day, so it gave me some much-needed time to recuperate.

Best part of that particular day, was having tacos for dinner, because my neck was at the right angle for it.

Another snow day I have bittersweet memories about was back in the winter of 2003, I was 16 at the time.

I gof up for school because I had some plans that came to me in a dream the night before and was really eager to carry them out.

However, that day turned out to be a snow day, which really disappointing to me.

However, it didn't turn out to be all that disappointing as the day before, a friend loaned me some computer software for me to try out with my computer, so having that gave me something to do for the day.

@Sidewinder Sounds like snow days turned out well and quite constructive for you. The intelligent kids always put them to good use.
