I love the snow,have no problems driving it--our schools are open today--but I hate our temps. For the next week we'll get snow every day*, the highs will be in the teens to low twenties and the nighttime lows in the teens. Schools here rarely close for weather. School busses will run in town only. People living in the foothills and the mountains are supposed to use good judgement in getting into town. Most of the outlying folks have HughsNet and the kids can log into the board of edcation and then go to class from there. I would have loved this growing op.

btw, this weather system is blowing to the ese, get ready boys.

*snow every day can mean anything from flurries to a foot.

    - Yeah, Australia continues to struggle with racism (especially in Perth, which tends to have more migrants from white-majority countries than the rest - Roger More Dec 7, 11:58
    - to elaborate a little: the racism is a weird one, in that people seem totally blind to it. summed up perfectly by what a friend said a while back. - mafic Dec 7, 11:58 1
      - Perth is a whiter city than the other Australian cities, because it attracts relatively more white migrants from the UK and South Africa - Roger More Dec 7, 12:01
