For fun, I went out to measure what ended up in our yard. I could see where some animal, likely a dog, cut through after the snow stopped. Honestly I thought there was more snow, but I measured six and a half inches. Other places nearby measured more, some up to 14 inches. It is not windy, this is not drifted. I wish they would cancel school tomorrow but I imagine the roads will be clear.

Winter has sure hit us. The wind would make it so chilly.

I was surprised not to have wind. It does get intense when we have it.

I doubt you'll get a day off. Have a good week.

We started two hours late, so we were not starting in the dark. A lot of our students ride rural buses.

We got a few flakes on Friday. How do you measure that?

Kind of like "a pinch" of salt, I suppose.

I know you were hoping for an extra day off. I hope if it isn’t canceled that the roads are clear. Driving in snow scares me.

They lay down brine before the storms move in and then they do a good job clearing roads. I live just off a major trucking route.

It's been snowing off and on here today. Not a lot, at least not yet. Time will tell. I hope they get your roads cleared soon.

They did a good job with the highways and the city road crews, plus our janitorial and maintenance people made sure we could get into the school.

@GardenGerty Ours did not last, it melted. Awhile ago, it was sleeting and trying to spit snow, but it's stopped for thee present. Thursday it's supposed to be 54 degrees! Weird weather!

I think it was too early in the season. They only gave us two hours off.

We have not had any yet, but it is overcast and damp outside, and there is snow in the forecast for later this afternoon.

I like it best when I can stay home and watch it, with robe and slippers on.

Glad there was no wind. But that might have gotten you another day off

If the predictions are right we are in for a rough winter and it is just starting. I think they wanted to save up the snow days.
