The reason they let school out when it begins to snow where Sheryl lives, is because of all the hills and curvy roads. All it takes is a little bit of something slick and the roads turn really dangerous. I have cousins that live in her area and they would be out of school for weeks sometimes. I remember one year they went to school all through June to make up for what they'd missed.

Tink and Janet, Jaci said for you to send the snow here! She would love it! (And anything that would keep her out of school!!!!)

That's exactly it Diana - The kids are happy when they get snow breaks but then whine when they have to make up those days.

Call it "red neck" entertainment but when it snows, Robert and I sit out on our deck and watch people attempt to make it (sometimes even try to go down) on our snow covered dirt road. It's a pretty steep hill and just not anything to give traction. Year after year we are amused by such things, LOL. The best probably so far was a school bus (sorry Janet) one year and our UPS driver the next.

Gosh, now i wish it would snow. I havent been entertained for quite sometime.

We have that kind of hills and curvy roads too, but we also have the big equipment to deal with it. According to dh, that's what he sees as the biggest difference between our area and more southern states. We KNOW we're going to need it every year so have to have it.

We'd dug out from Saturdays snow but have had more today and tonight so it's a mess again.

It's fairly flat right in front of my house, so I get to watch the amish neighbor kids ice skate on the road and go up and down on cross country skis. Funny what can be considered entertaining isn't it? lol
