Some places really should just be better prepaired for weather.

LOL My grandmother would always say "wouldn't you rather go through school the whole year and not have to make it up in summer?" and I'd always say "Heck no, I'll take a free day anytime of the year!" In 1994 we got a HUGE record snowstorm that put us out for 2 weeks. I was never happier in my academic career.

Originally Posted By mrkthompsn I believe in Global Warming, but I also believe it's 99.99999999999% natural causes, mostly based on solar activity and the precession of the Earth (wobbling like a top). Sure carbon-based gases are a big factor, but I also beleive those come from 99.99999999% natural causes. I saw a neat documentary on underwater caves off the coast of Bermuda. Several feet under seawater, there are fossilized bat droppings on the cave floors. I bet we're in the half-cycle between the previous Ice Age and the "Sun Age" (or whatever). Just remember, when you fly in an airplane, those SUVs still look like little tiny ants - just as much as cars.
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun Go figure Western New York State is in the 60's over Thanksgiving and Florida gets snow. We do have some good lake effect snow coming down now and are suppose to get up to a foot. I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow, but don't usually hold my breath for one.

As a Coloradoan I find it amusing that school is shut down for a measly inch of snow. It takes at least a foot for that to happen out here, and then its only 1 day (thats all the snow plows need to clear all the roads)
