STORM2K

The storm actually CANCELLED USD 501!!! (Topeka Public Schools)

Kansas State University also cancelled.

Wow.

Lucky you David....you gotta have faith. Now don't play on the computer all day today - get out and enjoy that snow....

Patricia

Of course, Ticka, I would love to shovel!

Kelly will come and shovel your snow for you I am sure...lol

great David. Enjoy your day off.

David - you sound just like my kids when they have a snow-day! They get so excited especially my 13 year old. My 16 year old just goes back to bed. My youngest likes to read all the school closings and delays until 9 a.m. LOL Over and over again, learning who among her cousins are off that day.

They had a snow-day last Monday and we baked a batch of homemade pretzles. We used to do that years ago. And go sled riding. I think we need another snow-day again!

Well, enjoy your free day. Make the most of it!

Mary

David - in our township we have plenty of salt (tax dollars) and plenty of plows/trucks (again, tax dollars). Consequently, my kids don't often have snow-days either. Which bums them out all the time. Contrast that to nearby counties/rural areas supplied with sand only and well, the difference is like night and day. There are many schools in rural areas that close when a few flakes appear or it goes below freezing and melting snow the day before refreezes! Many teachers I know joke they want jobs in those rural areas. Jeremy probably knows what I'm talking about. There are about 5 or so schools that are just always closed when schools start delaying or closing. We bought our dog in one of these areas and laughed the minute we saw - entering Switzerland County (in Indiana) - because we knew those kids got off a lot in the winter.

Congrats David...enjoy your snow! Blow south!!

lol blizzard...no need to shovel it, I'd just make enough snowballs and throw 'em to clear a walking path.

Enjoy your day off David.......

We got 10 in. last night and it started up again this morning........

Hey, send some of that snow over here!

I don't think it would make it past Iowa.......

Well.. our district like.. never closes.. cause we're in a city. Also, we got the new superintendent from New York City... and he's seen more snow then this.

My superintendint use to be from BUFFALO...and he's seen way more snow then we get, but he would always close schools whenever we got snow.

Hope you enjoyed your day-off...I have one today..cause of Ice.

I always liked to listen to the school cancellation list when I was going to school (1984 to 1996), too.

By the 1990's my favorite radio station was (still is) the all news/talk station in Boston (WBZ NewsRadio 1030); I can't pick it up "down here" in central Florida (well I have two or three times in the middle of the night... they reach 38 states [including Florida] during the late night-early morning hours, but a Spanish station [I assume from Miami] overpowers them in this area.

I had 5 snowdays this winter, and an Early Dismissal today, and about 1 late start!

USD 501 has NEVER started late or dismissed early for weather reasons. So.. it's either we go or not... usually we go.
