I love to watch it snow as it is doing right now, its not laying yet but it looks nice ( sorry Sick). I remember as a kid how my buddies and I would walk to school or hop on someones car bumper an be dragged down the street . I find it totally pathetic these days as they close schools now at the mere mention of snow. This is the first time in a long time that we have had snow ( in Baltimore ) before Thanksgiving, I especially love the scene of old European architecture laden with snow. During one trip to Norway I drove up to Trondhiem in March an there was snow galore. thats all

When i was a kid, the only way they'd close school for snow was if the superintendant couldn't get out of his driveway. My older brother's friend worked for the public works dept. and we'd pool a bunch of money to pay off to him to plow all the snow on the school superintendant's street into his driveway and block his car in.

I've just been handed a letter by connor , 'What to do if it snows and the school closes'.
Examples on the letter are:
Please tell your children they must go straight home and not go elsewhere.
Ensure your mobile phone is charged and switched on.
Do not respond to mobile phone messages from your children saying the school is closing unless you have checked with the school.
Do not take your child from the school premises unless you have been informed of closure.
Do not take anyone else's child off the premises.
Ensure that your child comes to school with a warm coat.
They forgot to add,
You might have managed for twelve plus years so far but we know that you parents are as thick as pig sh*t so we just thought we'd patronise you.

I got the letter though and he's really sneaky, I normally have to pick 3 week old ones out from the bottom of his bag. I probably only got it because he saw the words "School closure" in the title.
I must admit he never took a coat today and it was p*ssing it down this afternoon.

Typical government, ensure your child has warm coat, like you need the government for that info. they use kind of retoric to justify there existance. You should send a letter back to the author and let them know that you will be nominating them for the Nobel Peace Prize....
Winter is my favorite time of the year (despite having a car with no heat...which will be recified at next paycheck). I remember being a kid and watching the snow fall in Cleveland. Putting on my snow stuff, walking outside and watching it fall, all the while trying to spot all the fractal shapes it took. There's something magical about that....
last year they closed my university three times on account of snow, because the plows were getting stuck. of course toronto will never live down calling in the army over a snow day... I live in denial every year that i'll be snowshovelling again until i wake up one morning and theres four inches of snow staring me in the face. at least i haven't broken a shovel yet...
A beautiful white winter..by Beautifully Scarred n Broken.
Tiny little glass snowflakes,
Fall upon the cold ground,
Its winters time to wake,
Coldness gathering all around,
Spiraling downward from the sky,
Like little individual falling tears,
Making their journey from so high,
The awakening so very near,
Trees shed their bright orange leaves,
Flowers wilt and die away,
Its beautiful cold threaded weaves,
Down on the ground, winter lays,
Clouds of icy breath fog the street,
Pouring down cold slippery rain,
Echoing down on me so sweet,
Special little snowflakes, never the same,
A wonderful, beautiful season,
Beauty hidden deep under the snow,
It's my favorite time of year, I need no reason,
It's just a beautiful white winter, that I know.

I've been there several times...I lived in Goodland for 4 years...
