Dreaming of a White Thursday

As I write this, it’s Wednesday night and the kids’ school has already called and delayed school for two hours tomorrow in “anticipation of the weather” and to “assess the accuracy of the weather forecasts”. Amusing, no? This is what happens when snow is forecasted to start falling at the same time the high schools start.

I’m glad they called tonight, rather than doing the whole wait and see thing tomorrow. And I’m thinking tomorrow will be a snow day—as well as Friday. Cincinnati doesn’t do snow well. The predicted 3-6” will cause quite a tizzy.

What really amazes me is technology. Remember when we were kids and actually had to tune into a radio to find out if we had school? Nowadays there are tickers running at the bottom of every major local TV station and the school actually has an automated calling system to get the word out to students. Very high tech, which makes me feel slightly old—mostly because the only radios we have in use are in the cars!

I’m hoping for another couple of snow days… It almost feels like vacation around here. And who doesn't like vacation--even if it's snow covered?

8AM update: It's snowing! Schools are closed. Kids are still snuggled up in bed, dreaming of the homework they won't be doing tonight.
