I would have thought they would have at least matched your total That's about right, I was in Princeton today and there wasn't much. Holden did a little better and plows were out. Really wacky totals so close to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Cleaning the snowboard was interesting. Dry fluff to hard frozen crust. Had to scrape it off. These are the type of days at the ski area you wait 2 to 3 hours for the snow to dry out and mashed potatoes turns to powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was glad since it gave me a chance to snowblow but a bit of a waste. With the forecast it was understandable though 2 days in October due to power lines and trees down all over. 1 day in extreme cold when buses wouldn’t start, and 4 snow days. The snow events have all been poorly timed from school perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you had five but there wasn’t even 5 inches by the time we had to make that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they couldn’t delay as high school would have been in school about 45 minutes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my school rarely ever delayed. I could probably count the amount of times in 12 years on one hand. Snowflakes these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve noticed you guys have been pretty late to the party sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we’ll end up with about 10. They are saying some or all of Napril vacation will be taken away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. It's all about our litigation society. Everyone did see that school bus vid from the ice? That kind of scares the crap out of peeps. More and more schools are now doing snow days requiring online learning tasks and homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
