Okay, I know my friends in the northeast who got dumped on this winter won't think this is amusing, but today in southeast Michigan we FINALLY got what I would consider a good dumping of snow. Probably about 10-12 inches. Yippee!
Only bad thing is that it isn't an official snow day (i.e., day off school or work), since we already have the day off for President's Day. I think I still might go out and make a few presidential snow people in the front yard, just for fun!
I remember making snow tunnels in Chicagoland as a kid, after the winds had made a foot of snow into drifts several feet in depth. That didn't happen all the time, but a good dumping of lake effect snow in the suburbs that results in not having to go to school is quite a memorable event.
When we moved from Illinois to Maryland, I could not believe that we got out of school for only a few inches of snow. In Alaska the schools rarely closed either. The big surprise school closing was the day that someone broke into the lot where they kept all of Juneau's public school buses, and slashed all the tires.
Time to find my snow pants!
