I don't really get the two-hour school delay, especially on a Friday...just call it off.

The 2-hour delay has pretty much become the normal schedule for our school district this month. Between the overnight snows and sub-zero temperatures, school has been either delayed or cancelled over 50% of the time.

It's officially snowing / sleeting here. Should make for an interesting commute. Countless accidents already being reported. Yee haw.

They can count that as a full day towards their 180 days and not have to make it up...that's why they do that. Any more than two hours and they are docked a half day.

Feds....

Drive in was uneventful... except for the people driving 40 in a 55 zone. There is no accumulation... this highway has enough traffic... and the ground down here is warm enough to not let the road freeze.

I actually passed someone on the road. Unreal.

Currently 2 degrees but feels like -18 degrees. F-ing cold!

At least it's supposed to be 77 in Orlando on wedding day.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

We got snow Thursday morning. It's supposed to warm back up and melt it off today, then get up to the mid-60's tomorrow.

Converted to snow day, here. Even the university is closed.

Cold. Had to work from home today to get junior on the bus thanks to a two hour delay.

the pic with the birdbath looks like my back yard.

Our glass birdbath froze and shattered in the cold snap a couple of weeks ago. Shards of glass were everywhere.

Lol, hilarious.

If I had a birdbath in the back yard I wouldn't be able to find it under the snow right now.

They make glass birdbaths?

16 and light snow here. I am really not impressed with the snow removal in this city.

 

[NJmike PE]

21 and snowing. 2 inches of snow on the ground already. Polar vortex to return over night.

 

[matt267 PE]

The warmer temps made the snow here in RI good snowman snow. My daughter was very happy.

-30 with the wind chill here right now. I just put down some newspaper and told the dog to have at it, this one's on me.

Actual is supposed to be -22 with wind chills to -45. This is really a good time for me to give into the advances of one of the 40-something women I get here now and again.
