Thread Stealers With Too Much On Their Minds

If you’re not sure you could take it back

I was trying to set myself up and then one of the dogs insisted on her walk. You’re welcome!

From the maps I’ve seen, Birdin’ will be the big winner.

Wow, most area schools are already closed for tomorrow. Not the “Big Three” yet, nor a couple others. LaCrosse, Onalaska and Holmen were always the last to close, if they closed at all. LaCrescent and West Salem haven’t called it yet, but they’re about the only ones.

Valley schools have already called off classes. Iola-Scandinavia too. Waiting to see if Wild Rose and Wautoma follow suit.

It sounds like most places are going to get enough snow during the crucial daylight hours to warrant canceling school tomorrow. The only thing would be if some districts are waiting for the storm track to finalize, which it seems to have done pretty much now. Take the snow day. A-F hasn’t called off yet, but everything near us to the west has. Saw a lot earlier that Stevens Point had already cancelled. They’re big.

The weather bulletin is now saying 8-12 inches for us with a glaze of ice. Not the morning for any rodents to be predicting any weather either. Let them sleep in, too.

The big ones are holding off yet. I know one time in the last couple years, there was a big storm predicted, schools cancelled and it fizzled out. Then of course you get all the facebook critiques…”back in my day!” Back in my day, most of us could walk to the neighborhood schools we attended and people weren’t so quick to sue someone if their kid got cold. I would never want to be a school administrator. No matter what you do, people will be upset with you and blame it all on you.

Adams-Friendship is closed.

Back in the day… We were a small rural school in the same district as two large suburban high schools. All closed or none closed, even though we were out in the wide open with drifted roads and all, and they weren’t. Well, it was late January 1967 (and if you pay attention next year, they will be talking about the 50th anniversary of this big blizzard in Chicago), and Tuesday had been really warm, and there was no snow on the ground at all. Wednesday was colder, but still OK, and we always walked the few blocks to school. During the day, the snow started and kept falling. By the time we walked home, the snow was at least calf-deep, and of course we had not worn boots that day. Almost two feet of snow fell in that storm, and the winds blew it around. No school Thursday or Friday, but I remember we had the basketball game on Saturday night. I want to say that we didn’t have school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday either, but maybe I’m remembering a different storm. Maybe we got enough new snow after that to have things close down again. Anyway, that was the Big One.

Oconto is opening in the morning…closing at noon. I know we’re off in the far corner of the state and will be one of the last effected but am not sure I understand their reasoning.

Is anybody else sick of the Iowa caucus? I sure am glad it’s being put to rest tonight…but I’ve heard rumors of a New Hampshire primary???

Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)

Wisconsin Rapids schools are closed tomorrow.

Ripon schools closed.

Washington Island School wasn’t on the closed list on the 10:00 news for tomorrow but I noticed other Door County schools are going to be closed.  Must be some kind of negative lake-effect.  I always liked snow closures when I was teaching, it was a chance to get caught up during the day instead of the evening.

I just hope my guy doesn’t plow me twice to make up for this winter.

No first to post?  I’ll take it…
