pffff- we used to have to hollow out loaves of bread to wear on our feet to walk to school through 2 feet of snow- uphill both ways- Then we had to split a chord of wood to keep the woodstove going- then classes all day, then shovel my way back home again- many is the day i shoveled my way to school and when i got there my bread shoes were all soggy
Snow days? Ha! No such thing back then
Kids these days!
Are you kidding? Big deal! We had to do all that plus wash all the windows at the teachers house during a blizzard on the way home....
Back in my day we had to walk barefoot all day long and late into the night across the living room floor just to change the channel on the TV. There were no remotes back then and the parents would say ”change the channel” and we had to do it or else we would get whipped with a wet and sweatty towel. It didn’t matter if it was cold or hot or if there was a blizzard outside or if there was a hurricane or flooding or If there were any tornados going on.
