We're on ice

So how's the weather in your neighborhood? We are now on our second snow day (or should it be Ice Day?) and I have a feeling there'll be no school tomorrow. It's that bad. We had sleet all day yesterday, freezing rain on top of that, then 45mph winds all last night. My entire yard and front walk is covered with ice with just a narrow path of bare concrete from the door to porch. I walked those few steps this morning to get the paper. I've been no where else. Wherever you all are, please keep safe and warm.

Every university in southern ontario was closed but mine.

It seems they like to torture us.

Every school here in my school district has been closed for two days in a row now, and there's a chance of it be closed Thursday and Friday too.

Takes alot of stress out of my day, and I have more time to work on my pictures, to draw and to write fanfictions.

EDIT: Even schools in places like Hamilton, Auburn and Indianapolis are closed too.

we got a lot of snow in my area and my mom and little brother got a snow day from school

I had a delay yesterday and no school today. I was happy, because I get extra time to prepare for my pre-calc test and French test.

I actually didn't get much snow today, but the roads are very icy. There are still piles of snow outside from previous snowstorms though.

I've been watching it on the news.

Cold, snowy and cold. Cold cold cold! I hate the cold. Yesterday, we hit below -20 degrees. Below that even. We almost hit -30 degrees. Sucks.

^ Yes. -30 degrees. And believe me, it's not the coldest we've ever gotten. Hey, nice emoticon.

we didn't get that cold although i have seen some very cold temperatures

Doesn't get that cold here, but it has been freezing overnight and for most of today. Been very cold today and is supposed to be the next few days. Though it very seldom snows here and doesn't get as cold as places very north of here.

All of my classes today were canceled, which honestly surprised me. The storm didn't seem that bad to me, but then again whenever I walk around campus it's the wind that bothers me more than the precipitation, and there was hardly any wind today.

The guy across the street is chopping the ice on my front walk. It'll take more than a shovel to get through this stuff. More like a jackhammer! :blink:

I can picture myself doing that to the snow we had yesterday instead of using a plastic (even a steal shovel didn't do the job well

).

Now I wish I have a jackhammer.

or a blowtorch to melt it..

I've always had extreme resistance to the cold. I go outside to walk the dog in nothing but my underwear and a t-shirt (only late at night when no one's around) and bare feet. It was like -30 last night with the wind chill factor. The dog always wakes me up at like 3:00am to let him out. I wish I could break the cycle, but it's become a habit for him. After about 5 minutes I had to go back inside, which is quite amazing for me since I can easily stay outside for 20 minutes or longer like that at zero degrees.

it temps that could you need to dress warmer.

Well it was sunny today, and will be sunny tomorrow. We got two bad days of weather, but the forecasters predicted a foot of snow that never came.

Less shoveling for me.

Darn right...I don't like snow much. Pheh, and look at where I live...some of the cloudiest areas in the U.S. How many more weeks of the white stuff....did Phil see his shadow?
