Hehehe -that's funny since I just walked my daughters to school and it's snowing like crazy here in Southeastern Ontario! Like that "wintry mix" thing, here in Ontario wintery mix is freezing rain, snow and ice pellets. Now that's a real "wintry mix"! It's funny what others find difficult weather conditions...

Yes, that is kind of like living in Arizona. It rains, and everyone goes crazy.

We got a couple of good frosts and people did not know what to do!

Good luck setting up this afternoon.

When I lived in Germany it would take us an hour on a bus on a clear day to get to school but even if it were snowing we'd be going to school. Sometimes we couldn't actually get around to pick up all all kids as the roads they lived up were too icy or snow covered, but those of us they could reach went. One year we were actually involved in a fatal collision (the driver of the other car) on an icy road, but after they cleared the road and the ambulance left we all went on to school for the day....

I also remember as a smaller child in England my Father struggling to drive us in to school on a day where the snow was filling the 3 foot ditches and only to find a notice in front of our school that it was closed for the day, my older sisters went to their school but after we had another foot of snow and the temperature fell below freezing my Dad had to go and pick them up again! lol

I'd like to see the Princesses deal with that kind of journey! :o) Hope you have a productive day!

Welcome to Georgia - it might happen again. Hooray for snow days!

Heh.. I thought of you this morning when I saw that UGA was closed for the day. My son's school was still open but I kept him home simply because he still wasn't well enough to go today. I did slide down the driveway (which was covered in a sheet of ice) on the way to the mailbox.. but the roads were clear.
I was hoping to see snow this morning!

Oh yeah. When the rain comes in Southern California everybody loses their shit completely and drives like there is 12 feet of snow and white out conditions.

They closed the UNIVERSITY? For RAIN?

I used to walk to school, uphill both ways, in three feet of snow. I SWEAR, it's true.

My husband was up at 4:30 checking to see if his 5:00 shift people could get in ok. He always wonders at how I blow off dire reports of upcoming bad weather, and I'm always bemused at how seriously he takes them.

I am afraid of tornado weather, though. I do pay attention to that.

Hello. I thought I would let you know that I am now stalking you. Remember me? I was always sad I didn't get your email address or something before you left for the University of Windsor, but then I have always been a bit socially awkward.

I was trawling the net today and thinking nostalgically about People I Have Known and then I found your website with all of your awesome art and knitting and hilarious blogging. I shall be entertained for weeks now. I can't say that I miss first year art studio at The University of Western, but you certainly helped me to survive it. I also still have our crazy video project from that class.

Totally belongs in Tales from the Moronosphere.

Ha! I think some of those princesses live in Dallas, too. Silly weather phobias. Good that you're staying safe, though.

I think it's more of a built-in surprise holiday. They become more likely for more moderate temperatures as winter slips away without a snow day. I went to work anyway, for a little while, because I'm so behind, but it is nice to have a freebie now and then, and you don't even have to call in with a fake cough: "I won't be--hack, cough--in to work today--cough, cough--I am sick--cough, cough, cough." Of course, I'd never do that. Ahem.

It is so cute... Not that we have had any snow here either this winter!
