When I was in grade school in the metro Boston area, there was one town -Reading- that almost never called off school. Rumor was the school superintendent hailed from Maine. More than once the "no school" announcements over the local radio station went "All schools closed today, except Reading".

Locally, the Dayton "Metro Area" schools are all closed and they even closed WPAFB. I thought that was silly. I get closing stuff last night while it was coming down. They closed all of the local YMCA branches down early (6PM) for the snow. That was the right decision. But they had all night to catch up on treating the roads. SWMBO harassed me into taking a sick day because "the Base is closed so it's currently too dangerous for you to go in to the Base to work." Oh well. I've got more than a week of Sick time anyhow. Still felt "wrong." I hate taking Sick time. Don't like taking Vacay either unless I'm actually going somewhere on, well, vacation. I used to work with a gent who would take an occasional "Mental Health Day," burning some of his Sick but I never liked doing that.

Anyway, Ohio wussed out and closed everything. You'd think we're not on the Lakes or something. What are we, Arkansas? :p

Monmouth, Oregon, smack on the Willamette Valley floor. 6-9 inches of dry powdery snow on Saturday late evening into Sunday wee hours. Last time it snowed like this, at this time of the year, I want to say 1989-1992ish. Kid is unsure of snow. Coming around to it. At my parents in town. Driving wasn't bad on Sunday. Didn't drive today. Supposed to be clesr today but still cold. May get more snowfall on Tuesday or Weds nights View attachment 74679

It's snowing here in Ohio right now. ...again...

And I just got back from a Florida Disney/Universal vacay on Sunday morning; palm trees and shorts all day long.

Bah!

They issued a Level II snow emergency, WPAFB closed today (sending me to telework; gads! but I miss "snow days"), and every idiot mobbed the grocery stores for water bottles and TP.

As far as I can tell, it's mostly a nothing-burger. The snow is light and powdery because of the temp (currently -5 outside my window), and the roads are icy but that's about it. We did have someone who lost control on the I-70 and died, causing the freeway to be shutdown, but that happens at least once every winter, regardless of "snow emergency.

I spend probably 30 min. shoveling the powder from my driveway but it'll probably drift back about 1/3 by tomorrow.

I remember when a snow-pocalypse really WAS one.

Feh!
