    Heh heh…She must live in Southwestern PA. They’re always warning us that we’re doomed, people rush to strip the grocery stores bare of toilet paper and bread, then most of the “big storms” miss us.

    I think Agnes is set in NE Ohio. Anyway, i grew up in central PA, and i can assure you that many of the "big’ storms don’t miss them. But they manage. If it’s too big, they sit still for a day and let the snow crews work.

    Here in MO, we sometimes get surprised. Maybe 15 years ago, there was a “major storm” alert. All the schools called classes off and— about two flakes fell. A major fiasco for the Weather Service, who I don’t think have lived it down yet.

    Haha! You should see the panic when there’s any talk of snow or ice here in GA. School will be delayed or cancelled, and all the bread, milk and beer will be wiped out in the store (hey, we have our priorities straight at least).
    Last year, we had 6-12 inches of snow and we were stranded for a week because there are not enough plows around here.

    Oh, Agnes, it’s a shame you have to learn at such a young age that you can’t place your faith in a weathercaster. They are only in it for the acting experience.

    One can dream. I teach. I dream of snow days.

    I grew up in the Midwest. Loved learning, hated school. (Homeschooling was faaar in the future in those days). The cosiest feeling on earth was going to bed with the knowledge that school would probably be cancelled the next day. Somehow the big snows always started in the afternoon or evening, then.
    And waking up knowing school was cancelled was the most freeing feeling on earth.

    Snow isn’t usually our bane. We get the hind in of tornado alley, an the Gulf of Mexico for hurricanes with the occasional freeze make it dangerous here in Houston.

    The best day for a snow day is Friday.
    Instant 3-day weekend!

    Don’t recall ever getting a snow day. But we did get a “hurricane” day in Nov1964. Power was out for a week. Our next “hurricane” was Dec 15, 2006. Lost a lot of trees. (we don’t really have hurricanes on the west coast. Just winter storms with hurricane speed winds, on occasion)

    I live in Alberta, Canada. About 30 years ago I worked for a company whose Head Office was in Idaho. One winter, they got about an inch of snow and the whole city shut down. Over an inch of snow. We laughed till we cried.
