1. The snow must go on: We had 5.3 inches of heavy, wet, nasty, slushy snow yesterday, plus another inch last night. Many schools (but not our district) were closed across Wisconsin yesterday; darling daughter asked yesterday a.m. if we could move VERY QUICKLY to another district so she wouldn't have to go to school. LOL I said no. When I picked ( Read more... )

They send the kids outdoors for recess with that much snow/slush on the ground? They would've made us have an indoor recess when I was in elementary school. But then, we're not as hearty here in the Midwest.

Oh sure they do. We had 15 inches of snow in late February, and once the kids came back from the snow day, they were all playing in it.

Oh, well sure, at home. I can remember doing that too. It just surprised me that the school is able to send them out in it. It seemed like it could be a liability and hard to watch/control that many kids in those conditions. *shrugs*

Oh, it probably is. The school seems more worried about them playing "team sports" like tag and touch football.

Rather odd about the snow. We only got a light dusting. And yea! for sunshine today. Silly daughter.

That is ridiculous about the music.

Oh, there's no sunshine today, just no more real snow :P I just spent 5 minutes explaining to her that NO school districts in our area are closed today. She was rather disappointed.

Yes, Kurt Vonnegut will definitely be missed. :(

And yeah, I get random nosebleeds about 2-3 times a year, as well. huh.

RIP Vonnegut.

We got five inches of snow - really? Uck.

Madison has had 55.1 inches of snow this winter. UGH.

*hugs*

What are the nosebleeds for?

I've seen snow twice in my life, and touched it once.

HA. That's what I get for living in Tejas.

The nosebleeds exist to annoy me and make me wonder why I have them.

You live pretty far south in Texas. If you lived in Amarillo you'd have seen a lot more snow ;)
