Re: Yea Old Garage
As a southerner who feels somewhat ridiculed for how often schools are called off here, I have to ask how much snow it takes for Wisconsin to call off work and school? I will grant that you said "ice" which is much worse than snow IMHO.
The worst snow we had that I can recall was in 1994 when we had about 18" of snow over an inch of ice. Temps had been below zero for 3 nights, then a perfect combination of warm humid air brought in rain before it cooled off enough to snow.
we Have had 5 snow day's this year I think,
1 or 2 back in December for temps below zero all day at -12 actual temp and/or wind chill of -35 they will call off school.
2 in January for a Ice storm that came through and made roads very slippery.]
1st was a Tuesday that was legit and then for my school where kids go and I work on Wednesday is early release for Kids at 2pm and Teacher's have professional development programs/work till 3:45pm so Wednesday's the option for a 2 hours delay isn't' feasible as you only have the for 4 hours if you have a delay and then the early release.
so the 2nd of the ice delays a 2 hour delay would have sufficed but with the early release day that day it got called a snow day.
For snow if we get over 8" will have a snow day.
a lot depends upon the time of the snow fall if you get 6" and its done snowing by 3am you'll get a 2 hour delay.
if you get more than 6" and it snows from 3am to 11am then you get a snow day as the plows are hard pressed to keep the back roads open where the school bus's need to get through to pick up the kids.
this year my road is plowed by 5:30am but in years past heck it was 2pm before the plow made its way down my back country road.
thanks for stopping by.
You still have snow?!? There's not even any ice on our pond. I think we've already hit 70 once.
