@psujoe lol No, we in Upstate NY didn't get the blizzard, Tsuga was talking blizzard in Maine. I'm only at 58" for the season, usually I'm pushing 150+ this time of year.
But yes, to your point, the schools here have started calling "Snow Day" the night before. And in most cases, it's never as bad as the OMG!! weather people say it's going to be. Pretty sad.
@southern-psu-fan Or if the wind is going to be blowing and it's cold out. Back in the day, if it was going to be really cold, the girls were allowed to wear pants to school, then had to change into a dress or skirt after getting to school.
Now, GET OFF MY LAWN!
I'm in NE PA and the kids wear shorts to school year round. I guess that's why school gets cancelled if the sun ain't shining! The local school board liberals would rather go with cancelling school rather than imposing a sensible dress code.
@rip There is no such thing as a sensible dress code. Never was, never will be.
@rip I wear shorts year around during the weekdays because I exercise before I go to work and I don’t feel like changing. I crank my car from inside the house to have it hot when I get in lol. BK, we can’t tell kids what to do lol

They’ve been doing that down here for close to twenty years if not more. The schools in this area have had several snow days but we’ve had no snow since the one little storm we had in December and those couple inches melted in 24hours.
@psujoe Yeah, it's getting pretty sad. Around here, they're saying the kids aren't getting enough sleep. So they should move the start time later in the day. Hmmm, maybe turning the phone off at 10 and going to bed, might work just as well?
Excellent point, BT. But as Southern said we can't tell kids what to do, lol.
I just heard one of the "kids" at my work getting chewed out because no one could find him for 45 minutes and after some interrogation he admitted to being in the bathroom the entire time. We can't find anyone under the age of 35 that's worth a shet, they either have degrees in something that they know nothing about or they are nothing but entitled screw offs.
Yeah, but us old fogies have to go to the bathroom every 45 minutes so I guess total time spent in the head kinda evens out, lol.
