VaBeachGuy 12 Posted January 11, 2004 Well it snowed here yesterday, it doesn't do that very often so when it does it's a pretty big deal. As many people here know, I originally come from the Washington, D.C. area and snow is no big deal there so I am used to it. Here though they pull the sidewalks up and close the town down. I thought I'd post a picture of today's front page of our newspaper to let those of you that live in colder climates a chuckle.

removed 0 Posted January 14, 2004 So the kids in your town get a day off because of a little snow. We got a day off because of freezing-rain. It rained freezing-rain all night last night, so the roads are pure ice, so we didn't have to go to school! Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Stardate:21438.8 I remember when I was in Idaho we had 26 inches of snow one weekend.I woke up in the morning expecting there to be no school and we only had a 2 hour delay!!I couldn't believe it!!! Of course they are used to all that snow.In western washington if the roads are even icy and there is 1 inch they cancell the whole county. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted January 14, 2004 We got a sprinkle of snow a few days ago, but it all melted before the day was over. I'm still waiting for my snow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It rained freezing-rain all night last night, so the roads are pure ice, so we didn't have to go to school! Yay! Yeah, if there's any snow on the roads or the possibility of snow on the roads they will shut the schools down. I remember 1978 in the Washington, D.C. area we had a Blizzard, I forget how much we got the first day or 2. Something like 18 to 20 inches. THen we had freezing rain that put a layer of ice ontop of the snow. Then it snowed another 6 to 10 inches on top of that. We were out of school for about 2 to 2 and a half weeks.
