I had just about decided it was time to pull out the summer clothes. The weather had reached the 70* mark last week and we were all basking in the warmth!
Yesterday, a blizzard blew through in the morning. Urgh!! It was March 26th for crying out loud! We spent the day indoors (it being too cold for the kids to go to recess) and wondered when the warm weather will come back? The storm petered out by lunch, but it was just so darned cold.
This brings me to another point. The school district NEVER calls a Snow Day! Doesn't matter what the weather does, go to school! Last year we had a blizzard hit right before kids were sent home. Many kids and teachers got stuck at the school until 10:00 pm, with one bus turning around and returning to the school after being stuck on a closed road for 3 hours!
Now, weather forecasting here is very predictable! Why didn't the district close schools early that day?
On a positive note for today... I get a little boost every day when I walk into the school and see all the happy children playing on the playground or screaming and laughing in P.E. It is really not such a bad thing to be constantly surrounded by the innocence of youth.
