PM’d all the equipment yesterday . Went into work early this morning and watching it sleet and rain now. Plow trucks, skid steer , power brooms are fueled and ready. Grounds crew already laid down salt.So we’re just waiting for the fluffy white stuff.

Temp hasn’t dropped below 40 in what feels like weeks in 3S. The lack of snow days is a real problem for me...there is nothing better than a snow day to make this ornery old man feel like a kid again.
You have now made me ornery-er-ish!
I’m hoping they district gives a snow day back on Easter Monday as opposed to the last calendar day when I have no kids in class!

My son told me last night if he put his jammies on inside out and backwards he would have a snow day in the morning. Now hes going to try it all the time because it worked this time.

I think you have to flush a snowball down the toilet too. When I was a kid if I saw a cloud on the horizon I'd roll the dice and not do my homework. In September

When mine were young it was spoons in bed , I think under the pillow .

As for me today , I haven’t got out of bed yet, same as most mornings this time, no spoons required. Ok I did get up to pee a few times , same as everyday .

Still working today, but will probably have to get my daughter from daycare early today. It's rain in the Saratoga area right now, but any untreated surfaces are a sheet of ice. It's supposed to change over to snow this afternoon, 2-5 inches. Most all of the local schools are closed.

My view , enjoying some classic rock and playing in the snow ..

i used to get into arguments with teachers about homework!  Never did it or i just did it in class.  "Why am i here all day if your sending me home with work?, just give me the test now" - oh they love that.  lol

The songbirds are all over the feeders in this snow.

Had a two hour delay yesterday at school/work. But we are here today. Though the weather people are calling for worsening conditions throughout the day. Was just rain on the way in this morning. But the wind will whip up, with sleet and freezing rain, changing to snow. Been a pretty easy winter, here so far though.

Mrs. grampy has already asked me to drive her grocery shopping this evening, as she hates driving in snowy conditions anymore. She is baking for a fundraiser this weekend. I said sure! As long as you put aside some of the goods for me!!!

I have had a total of 1-1/2" of snow to date (in 3 different events)

Got the call around 5 that Greece schools are closed. This is my son's first snow day. I had to explain it to him. He was sad that he wouldn't be able to see his friends today! Haha he'll come around.. we've got a thick ice crust and it's snowing like crazy up near the water.
