My local weatherman just called the impending Monday storm "a major nor'easter."

[WritingIsMyReligion]

This includes "at least a foot of snow in most places."

Hot damn!

:woohoo:

[Ekirh]

1. Someone seems excited N/T

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. I am!

:P

Even my district (one of the most stringent anti-snow-day districts in the state) can't have school if we're going to be pounded and up to our ears in snow and wind, even if there're only a few inches of snow on the ground at daybreak.

[Ekirh]

3. As oppose to my school

In Mathews County VA when we once canceled school due to the chance of snow (No snow came)

Edit: We did have added threats.. we once canceled school cause due to a higher tide than normal no one on the backroads could make it. .. :rofl: (No one was in danger.. the bus drivers just refused to deal with that shit)

5. LOL.

You Virginians crack me up. I've gone to school with 4 inches on the ground. :P

[Ekirh]

7. To be fair . .

One year we did get our ass kicked by ice and snow.. lost almost three weeks of school (Not conscecutive) because of that

only a week and a half of it made up.
and oh we Virginians crack ourselves up with snow . . . I remember my Mom telling me to stay up as late as I want and when I asked her why.. she told me she saw one snow flake so more than likely there be a delay tommorrow

sure enough.. no snow on the ground.. but a two hour delay.

10. Hahahahahahahaha.

Ahhhh sounds like a good time. :D

4. That was how December started two years ago.

I was in Boston and had plans to head up to NH. Big old snowstorm got in the way.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

6. I love snow.

I'm so happy, especially if I get a snow day out of it. :D

[fizzgig]

8. i don't think i had a snow day the last six years i was in school

hell, we got nearly four feet of snow in march 2003...the whole county shut down except the college and i had to go in to work (i worked on campus) x(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

9. That's major suckage right there.

Sorry 'bout that. x(

[fizzgig]

12. and that wasn't even the worst of it

it was the day after st. paddy's day and i'd gone out the night before...i felt like death on a triscuit and, to this day, have no idea how i managed to dig my car out of that much snow

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. Wow.

You ought to be commended for such a feat.

:thumbsup:

[fizzgig]

16. never having to do it again will be commendation enough

:D

[Beausoir]

11. It just passed through us. Got about 9 inches. Nothing to write home about.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. Ah, but yours happened on a weekend.

And I'm going to assume you're not still in school. :)

[Beausoir]

18. You are correct! It was a yawner for us. We are rural folks anyway, so we don't do the rush hour.

We live about a mile off the nearest plowable road, so we pretty much have to take care of ourselves.

Could've been worse and it sure is pretty up here right now! The owls are out, making a noisy fuss.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

19. I love how pretty snow is.

Before it's all slushed- and browned-up, of course. x(

[bullwinkle428]

15. It's the same system that gave us an ice storm here in Iowa this afternoon

...I'm just excited it didn't cause me to lose my power for 18 hours like the one last February did! :mad:

I grew up in Buffalo, NY and experienced the Blizzard of '77 when I was going to middle school - 7 straight snow days was the result, and we had a few others scattered throughout that winter as well! The funny thing is, our district had the reputation of being one the most resistant to closing for bad weather!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. Aw yeah.

Not even a twinkle in mi madre's eye in '77, but that's what I as a middle schooler would've been ecstatic over.
