YOU GUYS!!!!

We have, like, a half an inch of snow on the ground and that means that I can go into work two hours late tomorrow! 2 hour delay for the university!

This is amazing.

Awesome!

[girlfriday11]

Yay!!!

[TrickyBob]

Where do you live that 1/2 an inch shuts crap down for a few hours?! lol.

But yay!!

[joenali]

I would love a two hour late start. I would rather have that than a snow day. A two hour late start means we don't have to make a day up. Whereas, a snow day means a make-up day.

New Mexico. Apparently they do not have snow plows or salt/sand trucks here.

I had the same experience when I went to college. Where I grew up, you were lucky to get a snow day after 12" fell. In college, they would shut things down ater 2" or so.

Dude, so you know where I went for grad school. I can remember walking around campus in snow so deep that it was coming in the tops of my boots and stuff wasn't canceled.

Half an inch? Wusses!! Haha. Just kidding.

We don't have delays until there is as least a foot on the ground. :-)

I'm from Wisconsin. I know allllllllll about it. That's why this is so thrilling.

[Doc_Lobster]

I remember that, too. In fact, when I was a kid, we had school canceled more often for cold than we did for snow (I guess it's hard to start the buses when it's 35 below).

I do not regret moving here. Not even a little. The last two days have been probably the coldest of the year, with daytime highs below 30F. Yeah. I love this place.

And I turned my heat on tonight. wtf.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I'm just sayin', in the sweatpants capital of the great US of A? There needs to be at least a while inch of snow on the ground.

[sewpinkgal]

Enjoy sleeping in tomorrow!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Whole inch of snow. I mean

[amberlyrose]

I loved growing up in NM.
Get to sleep late for 1/2 inch of snow AND it was melted by the time you had to drive so no worries about idiots.

[lightbulbsun]

That's awesome! And lol that they don't have snow plows - you don't even need them for 1/2"!

[ginandjucie24]

Hey Doc, I also live in NM! Enjoy sleeping in.

I also said that they don't have salt or sand trucks, either.

The roads were still a little warm when the snow started to fall, and because the temperature drops so rapidly after the sun goes down it is a complete icy mess out there. I actually bit it on the sidewalk walking home from the gym last night at 7pm. The roads really need to be sanded or salted to be safe.
