On Wednesday we had a -38 degree windchill and I still had to walk 15 minutes to class on the poorly plowed sidewalks.

We already gotten 3 snowdays since January 1st! We got one that was only 4 inches and called off because of the icy roads. But today we got more than ever a total of 6 or more inches of snow and didn't get called off. It was kinda a good thing though so we don't have to make of more school in June like we already have to do because of the amount of snow days we've had.

Haha, yesss. We had one last year too, on Valentine's Day which was a half day. I was so glad to have a snow day, I needed rest time and time to finish my math.
