Snow day? No way

This snowstorm hit about two hours too late for me. Our board is open. The rural boards immediately south of here are closed, as are most of the private schools in the area. But Hamilton buses will be picking people up more or less on schedule. But the forecast is supposed to get worse before it gets better.

The bets are on amongst the staff. When will the bus company call and say they're coming early, so close the school? When will the board realize they should have closed for the day? Will the in-service I'm supposed to go to this afternoon be cancelled (again) or will we be expected to slip and slide our way to the West Mountain to get to it?

There are occasional days when I wish I lived in the sunny south.

Then I remember hurricanes, and figure a snowstorm still does less damage.

"Если в вашей жизни есть хотя бы один человек, которого вы считаете близким другом и которого не встретили бы, если бы не Интернет, поместите эту фразу в свой дневник."

Also from [info]waya3k:

Translated:

"If there is at least one person in your life whom you consider a close friend, and whom you would not have met without the internet, post this sentence in your journal."

Um, Piet, for one. Also sassy_fae, etherlad, rainwolf, redstorm and the entire D&D group, none of whom unfortunately are on lj. I must confess, though, that it was not my own internet prowess who brought these people into my life, other than the very first. All the rest, I met through Piet, who met them online or through events that he became a part of as a result of being online.

There are many others on my friends list who are becoming, or are already, very good friends. I appreciate all of you. My life is much richer with each of you in it.
