The only snow day I could get is if I call in sick (dont get sick days so Id lose hours, plus the college never closes, even though half the profs wont show up 
). I just climb in the truck and drive by the lines if I have to.

Around here people go ape sh** when they think of snow, this Thursday there is a chance of "measurable snow" and the news people are all over it, its the Top Story, and the snow that has yet to come, with all the media hype things start closing, schools have early dismissal in case it gets bad.

Here's a pre-emptive complaint:

I will buy a new snowblower next year... Right now, my snowblower is a 6'1" 225-lb son. Next year he will be in college and playing football: right now, though, slave labor is the way to go...

A friend of mine teaches down in Texas----came from Cleveland. He said that when they get a 1/4 inch of snow down there, everybody thinks it is Armagedon---he said everything shuts down (I think that is a hyperbole)---here in beautiful Cleveburg, 4-5 inches at a time can cause some problems---but in Eastern Pa. they measure the snow by the feet...

Down here all the city offices shut down, the schools (colleges included), businesses.
