Yup looking at the weather right now and looks like we will have off tomorrow. I've got the hot chocolate, etc.

Yes, it might be two days here, or at least a delay tomorrow.

When it is all covered outside, I will take pics.

We woke up to our cars covered, but the streets were clear. I really hope that the principal gives them off tomorrow as I don't want to drive in it. She never gives them off...the old fart.

No, I don't have to go to work.

But I always wake up at 5, they haven't callled schools closed yet, so I have to get in the shower, start my morning chores-then they call it! :wah:

But no school, I wonder if they will close the dentist office early today, so I don't have to go there too.....:wah:

Does the principal call the school closed, or the district?

They made Baltimore City go in-to make up for last week. They got the inagural day off, but counted it as a snow day. (how mean) They are trying to make up for it by going in today, at least 1/2 day.

The school district calls it and our principal at our school then lets everybody know. She is also making them go to school on President's Day so she can give them an extra day off Memorial Day weekend.

I will write today.

And finish watching Gandhi, I am showing it at school this week-when it opens! :wah:

you guys get to many snow days, we never have them here!:-5:-5:-5

sucks when your city is ready for anything!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

no time off work!:-5:-5

well, some do.........and they are cursed as others come in!:sneaky:

I never missed a day at work, but some are 'woe is me':-5:-5

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:32 pm

We get 5 snow days a year. If we don't use them, we get out early. :-6

I only missed two days this year, for a conference. I never miss a day, much to my students displeasure.:wah:

No, we don't get paid for them. If we have to work over, because of extra snow days to pay back, it is free teaching.

They always find a way to cut off one or two of the ones they owe us, you never know what your last check will be. :rolleyes:

oh now I see what you mean, wow, and that last cheque for the summer is important.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:55 pm

I bank all year for summer vacation. But a short cheque at the end means a tight summer.

And a snow day is $50 I save from no nurse-to go towards the electric bill this month......

Wooooohooooo Chonsi...good on ya girl. Hope you had a lovely day.

Living along the coast, we don't have too many storms these last few years. We're on the snow line and usually end up with rain/sleet.

Our district usually does not call the day off. We'll get a 90 minute delay to clean up our cars.

I'm not sure about tomorrow. Weather man is calling for maybe 1 to 2 inches of snow tonight, turning to sleep/rain. So we may have a delay and lots of icy roads:-5

I really hate driving in bad weather with my sports car. Luckily though, it held up well last winter driving along the icy roads. Can't car pool because no one lives this way, and it's virtually impossible getting a taxi.

Odie, we don't have snow days built into our calander due to the fact that we get mostly sleet/rain. We also don't get paid for the summer. I also bank my money during the year to have time off in the summer.

The advantages of living by the shore, the beauty of the summer.

Isn't summer the best time of year?:-6

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 9:04 am

We got off today and ended up with a few inches...now it's just raining which stinks for Quin...so he's playing with Chez's daughter on the Wii.

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:25 am

we are now getting 10 inches....everything is open here....roads are a mess when I went out.

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:54 am

We are supposed to get another storm on Tuesday next week. Hopefully they will have off again as I loved making them little snacks today.:p

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 12:30 pm

Yes, roads are a mess. No school today! I went out to the gymn, since there will be church tonight, so I chiseled off the car, and totted out.

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 6:39 pm

Oh Chonsi:-4

I'm so happy that you had a 2nd day off. You deserve it:-6

We had a 90 min delay and lots of sleet and yukky stuff:-5

When's your last day in June? Ours is June 16th if we don't get a snow day. We don't take much time off during the year because we want to get out early. Since we're a summer resort area, most of our kids and teachers work in the tourist industry.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 7:24 pm

June 18 is the scheduled last day of school. If we don't use all of our snow days, we get out early.....maybe. :wah:
