When I was a kid growing up in Ohio, if we got more than a foot of snow they considered maybe shutting down for a day, then re-evaluating whether or not to close-- because maybe a half of an inch might have melted off since the day before. We all hung out by the radio with our snowdogs waiting to hear if school would close or not. Okay, I exagerate, but we often went to school in a foot of snow. kids now-a-days are too soft.Ken Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164981939895004856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106885.post-59935356017577519252007-02-14T14:35:00.000+00:002007-02-14T14:35:00.000+00:00Now that's just crazy !!!Now that's just crazy !!!Andrew Glazebrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561008286443964427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106885.post-25902168841483697872007-02-14T07:26:00.000+00:002007-02-14T07:26:00.000+00:00Actually, I'm SO old -- oh, my god, I'm not sure I...Actually, I'm SO old -- oh, my god, I'm not sure I should admit to this! -- I'm talking about a time BEFORE 'Star Wars'!!!!!!Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106885.post-87508706884905604512007-02-11T19:20:00.000+00:002007-02-11T19:20:00.000+00:00Did you get stuffed into the belly of a freshly de...Did you get stuffed into the belly of a freshly dead Taun Taun until Rogue Two showed up in his Snowspeeder ?Andrew Glazebrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561008286443964427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106885.post-86918002559505697112007-02-11T10:21:00.000+00:002007-02-11T10:21:00.000+00:00I remember falling into a snowdrift on my way to s...I remember falling into a snowdrift on my way to school and having to sit - slowly steaming - by the radiator until I dried out!

I can remember trudging through great mounds of the stuff and, like your experience, our school never closed for such trivialities either! Yes, it's cold but surely we Brits are made of sterner stuff!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.com
