I remember the snowdays of the late 1970’s, sledding for a while and then going inside for hot chocolate as we listened to endless hours of Steve Martin and Cheech & Chong LP’s/8-Tracks. B-) I also remember the anticipation the night before listening to the 6, 7 or 8 transistor AM radio in the hopes of hearing that your school is closed. Shames today’s kids might not have that experience.

I remember listening to the radio desperately hoping that my school’s name would be spoken. It frequently was which was fortunate because I wasn’t sure I could find the school in the blizzards in WI.

Cheers would go up when Hickory Grove Elementary was heard, the hot chocolate would come out and we would have a fun day.

When I was a “yoot” school only closed if the snow accumulated more than 6 inches. These days, thanks to liability insurance and possible lawsuits — one snowflake and school is closed.

I liked them as well. However, on the plus side, homeschooled children usually don’t work more than 5 or 6 hours a day.
