:hi: I got up for work as usual this morning, and I paid close attention to closings and cancellations before I headed out...but no announcement about the college where I work. I got halfway to work on the slick streets when I heard our college was closed today. I promptly headed back home. :)
We've got somewhere around 2 inches of snow and expecting sleet and ice this afternoon. I know that's NOTHING to the northern DUers, but around here, it's a big deal. If DU would stop acting up, I'd be able to post more! :P

:rofl: :hi: It used to snow a whole lot more around here than it does now. But global warming's just a myth, right? And it's certainly not caused by humans... :P

It was amazing to watch everything shut down with just a little snow, but I quickly learned that without sand, salt, and snow plows (like we have here) the roads turn into ice rinks. The southern drivers that I encountered, drove way to fast for the conditions -- this was another observance that I made.
Enjoy your snow day, and stay safe!!!! We had one a couple weeks ago. This weekend is going to be sub-zero lows and single digit highs here. I hate the bitter cold. I will stay in all weekend.
:hi:

:hi: People here are total idiots when it comes to driving in the snow. It's best to stay off the roads while they do whatever it is they have to do in a hurry. :P :rofl:

It may only be two inches, but it can really get the job done when you're used to nothing.
Are we still talking about snow?
