I am not sure how low I can go, but apparently our temperature here in the south can go pretty darn low! It's cold y'all! The high today was 22 and the low tonight is a whopping 4! Um, yeah, that pretty much never happens down here. So (get ready to laugh all you Yankees) we have an "inclement weather" day tomorrow!! That's right, not a snow day (a rare thing down here - not because it takes much more than a flake, but because we just don't get snow that often), not a rain/storm day (most years I have taught we have had more of these than anything), but a day because.... it's too darn cold!!!! :-) No complaints here! They claim it is for the sake of those who walk to school, those who must wait at bus stops, and the "portable" classrooms that are heated by units that won't be so efficient when faced with these bitterly cold temperatures! I'm all for it! So, as I loaded the bus tonight to travel to basketball games with the teams and my cheerleaders, it was with a lighter step because I will now have a FOUR day weekend (thank you cold weather and MLK)!

That's hilarious! I can't wait to tell a few people out here that they canceled school because it was going down to 4 degrees! Insane! Well, stay warm and toasty, and enjoy the four days off. We're heading to Yuma, AZ to enjoy a warmer climate for a couple of days. By the way, it was in the 40's in Billings yesterday!
It makes me chuckle b/c I know all those from up north are laughing at us ;). Still, I am all for a day where my boys can stay at home and keep warm.
Okay - so what is Megan having?? It's killing me!
Wow....what a bunch of weenies you are! Oh well....if it keeps you home from school, it's all good. Right?!
Seriously??!! That is so funny. We are truly in the south! Hope you enjoyed your extra day off!!
No way.. LUCKY! I cant believe they did an inclement weather day, CRAZY.. Hope you've enjoyed your 4day weekend so far! Have a great last day of it!
I know what you mean. If there is flurries, AR schools shut down! LOL! I'll take it though. I love being in the house snuggled up on a cold day! Glad you got an extra day off!
I was telling people about your "inclement" weather and they all laughted and said if we had those days - the whole city would be shut down ALL WINTER! Too funny.
