1-3 inches and they call off school? Do you live in the south?

I resemble that remark! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: Snow in the south is a fascinating phenomenon. This is typically what happens:

Monday: The news reports a possibility of snow Thursday with the "A" word...accumulation! Everyone is abuzz.
Tuesday: The National Weather Service issues a winter weather advisory for Thursday (not a watch, not a warning) and pandemonium ensues. The grocery stores are flooded. There is no milk, bread, or batteries to be found within 100 miles.
Wednesday: The winter weather advisory turns into a winter weather watch, and parents start demanding that the schools be closed. The forecast is for a dusting to possibly a half inch of accumulation. The grocery stores are empty.
Wednesday evening: Schools are closed for Thursday AND Friday.
Wednesday night: It starts raining. The temperature is 35 degrees.
Thursday: It's still raining. The temperature is still 35 degrees. The kids are out of school. There is still no milk, bread, or batteries within 100 miles. Measurable snow: Zero.
Friday: The temperature is 29 degrees. The sun is shining brightly. :cool:

I couldn't tell you how many times that exact scenario played out when my kids were in school! :grinning-face-with-sweat:

and they whine in june about having to make up days lost to "snow" days. :rolleyes:

We also didn't have snow days. As a matter of fact, if it didn't snow enough they would rent one of those snow making machines from ski resorts just to make our walk to school, uphill both ways more "interesting."

Good morning! My 2 year old, $1,500 computer died. The computer insurance email says "congratulations!" they will replace it with a "brand new one" that is pre-owned and refurbished. This one had cost $500 when brand new. Yay. So excited about that brand new pre-owned one with a 30 day warranty.
 
The computer I am on new is probably 15 years old and I think it's made of wood. It never crashed or even veered off the road. It never freezes or lies to me and I never did anything to it. My wife's new computer crashes 2 or 3 times a week.

I always liked old things better. :)

@sp1187, some of your geese are in the pond behind my house this morning. A whole herd of them. Flock? Nope, Google to the rescue. Gaggle. :grinning-face-with-sweat: I had forgotten that one. Anyway, I haven't seen them before and I'm sure they were just stopping by on the way to see you! Kenzie wasn't interested in the geese. On the other hand, the squirrel on the fence had her running!
