There is nothing like a snow day!

Okay, while I don't like to have to make them up, we needed this snow day. Every school year needs one.  And this one is a lollapolloza. The weather dudes predicted it way in advance. And while no one believed them (the last 2 snowstorms were duds), they stuck to their forecasts.Our current superintendent of schools comes from the Canadian Maritimes. It snows there. Lots. So over the last couple of years, we have come to expect to have to go to school when it's snowing. Because it's New England. It snows. Get over it.You can imagine my delight - and surprise - when the school department's communication system robo-called last night with the new that there would be no school today. Even though over 500 eastern MA school systems had already called school, I didn't expect to learn whether or not I'd be going in until the morning. Whoo-hoo! Bring out the french toast!And the actual snow fall? I'm looking at about 24 inches on my patio table right now. This time the weather dudes were correct. Good for them! No matter how much of a pain in the behind the clean up will be, there is nothing like a snow day to make us all feel like kids again.
