Ok Im just frustrated becuae in 20 minintes i have to go start my car car becuase i have to go to school. NO one school within a 30 mil radius is haveing school, its beign canceleed becuase of the weather. What the heck is up with that. youd think they get the hint, their prolly 3 foot drifts in the road and my gp sits liek what liek 5 inches from the ground. This is rediculous, weve been in winter wether advisory for the past week, we had no shcool on monday becuase of it was suposed to get bad around 5, we get out out school at 3:20.once again, what the heck. and it never got bd it wa 40 degrees all day and sunny no friggin wind. its flipiin -3 degrees outside and with windchill its around -30 i jsut hope noone get car trouble becuase they are in deep trouble i these weather condidtions. I jsut neeed to rant because i think this is madness.

Yah, I saw the article on yahoo about -40 in Minneapolis. It takes 10minutes to freeze flesh!!
Low here was during the night, 50*.
I don't know how the northerners do the winter!

I skipped work on monday because it was supposed to be nasty. It did get there, but it happened much later than they were predicting.

Getting in to work today was challenging, highway was down to a single (usable) lane. Left lane was a sheet of ice.

Snow day? What's that? lol

The only time school is canceled for weather here is for a bad hurricane, or bad floods. And in my 13 years of school, I can count the number of times it happened with one hand.

Only two bomb threats? We usually got 2 bomb threats a month. West Side in late 90s, it was like that.

Brunswick's rules were if the sidewalks weren't clear of snow then a snow day was called.

Get this I moved south to get away from the cold and starting tomarrow it's supposed to be the coldest it's been in the last five years. They are projecting subfreezing temps for over 50 hours!!!!!! Tonight's projected low is 15*F!!!!! Im in Atlanta GA for petes sake!!!!!!!
