I loved what the guy from Minnesota said, ... there were no snow days off from school in Minnesota, how could you pick one? It you got one it would then be for most of the year.
We have dirt storms and dryness and few green things growing around out side of town, but winters are generally great. I lived in Amarillo and Oklahoma City. Both have serious winters ... part of the time. Deadly even. Few are prepared when traveling.
We have fog!! So far, no school bus delays this year. Hope it stays clear for another 10 days. :)
