O the weather outside is frightful
The weather outside is frightfully cold but I haven't noticed because I haven't had to go to work for the past three days!
Almost every school in our entire area (minus Midland - why, we don't know) was closed on Monday and Tuesday due to extreme cold. They all gave up and went back to school today (including Pinconning - who usually closes when a single snowflake is on the ground!)
That is except for Saginaw Public - we are out for the third day straight.
The reason - well my brilliant school district was built around neighborhood schools so they wouldn't have to worry about busing. The only people bused in our district are special education students. Therefore the majority of our students walk to school in Saginaw and the temperatures have been reading below 0 for the past 3 days.
Usually we are the school district that stays open through everything - if we get 1 snow day a year, we count it as a miracle! Now we've had three in a row and after one more, we will have to start making them up. That is UNHEARD of in Saginaw. It's seriously never happened before.
So, I plan on enjoying this sudden mid-winter break to the fullest today and think fondly of those that had to return to work today or moved so far away from this nasty coldness that they have no hope of a snow day ever!
Have a great day everyone! I know I am! :)

PS--I lived in Michigan for 27 years and never heard of "cold days". Why don't we get "hot days" in Arizona? Where's the fairness?

Aren't you glad I finally figured out how to respond again, Becs? :-)

Gr. Some of us have to go work no matter how miserable, cold, snowy, icy or otherwise horrible it is. >:( (that's my annoyed face)
