We have to go out in this later and I'm not looking forward to it. We didn't get as much snow as other areas of the state. No school closings in our little neck of the woods but then our school systems here seem to tough it out longer than the surrounding areas. There have been years when everyone around us closed or delayed and where I worked it was a go. The supt. and transportation head would go out around 5:30 and if the could run all the routes there was no excuse not to have school. Use to make my kids so darn mad but they enjoyed it in the summer when they didn't have to make up days. They would try to talk me into staying home, but darn, if I had to go in and clean up from others they could go to school.
I do remember on year it snow so much we couldn't get into the schools. Of course maintenance was told to report. Had to do all the little things that can't get done on a regular basis. We had to park along the rode and walk into the school. It was so deep we had to follow along behind the guys as the made a path to get into the building. Then they dug out the trucks and began the plowing. Should have called in sick, lol.
Hey, has anyone heard from Seth since we were all sent away from spaces? Sure miss his blogs. He had such a funny unique way of looking at things.
Well, off like a herd of turtles to pick up a prescription for the hubby. You all keep warm and stay safe.

ReplyDeleteSeth is on wordpress. He is still his charming self. :-) gotta love that guy!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cold here. I just bundled up and went out and started the car and let it run for 15 minutes. I am not going anywhere today unless it is a big emergency!
I was going to tell you as well where he is. WP. ;-) He's as fun (and handsome) as ever!
ReplyDeleteI loved the 'herd of turtles' lol! I have to get hubbies WI green parka out of the closet. He will need it this year. I bet you have alot of stories about doing your job in bad weather. I am always amazed to hear what goes on for the people who work when others stay home. You guys are brave! Keep warm!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems so cruel to have to go out in such treacherous weather. Y'all stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteHere in Montana we seldom had snow days either. I can remember perhaps one or two my entire time in school even when there was a lot of snow and brutally cold weather...that's how it is in some places. Like you said it stinks for kids to have to make it up later so what's tough today sure pays off tomorrow. Many are getting the worst of winter now and it's so much improved for us that I almost feel guilty...almost but not quite!
ReplyDeleteHere in California we've never heard of snow days. Now earthquake days, well that's another story :-)
ReplyDeleteTry to stay warm and safe

Hmmmm... Well, sorry about your snow and cold. We are suffering here too. From heatstroke! 90F yesterday. For goodness sake, keep your 'herd' warm!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog. I love that guy and wish I could write like him, but that would mean that I actually had a job!!
Take care, stay warm and if I don't talk to before then, have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!
